Entitled Fireworks, the piece was performed for the first time by the European Union Youth Orchestra during the annual Chopin and His Europe festival in Warsaw.

Elżbieta Krajewska spoke to the composer just before the world premiere of her work in the Polish capital.

Zubel's Fireworks will have its UK premiere at the BBC Proms in London on Sunday, August 19.
