BASEL SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA INTERNATIONAL CONCERT SERIES A fine Swiss orchestra is joined by Ivor Bolton, a Blackburn-born conductor and Sol Gabetta, a young Argentinian-Swiss cellist (image) who is already among the top rank of solo performers. Busoni’s Comedy Overture is a rarity which fizzes with excitement, while Saint-Saëns’ lyrical First Cello Concerto is one of his most admired works.

JEAN ARP THE POETRY OF FORMS This landmark exhibition comprises over 70 loans of work, the majority of which have never been on display in the UK. As well as drawings, collages, paintings, wood reliefs and sculptures, the exhibition explores Arp’s poetry, adding a new dimension to his biomorphic sculptures with flashes of the artist’s ingenuity. Arp’s diverse practice had a poetry and playfulness at its core that is as engaging for audiences today as it was in Arp’s lifetime. His role in Dada, Surrealism and Abstraction, as well as his impact on the British avant-garde, make him a fascinating artist for modern audiences.
