The London Symphony Orchestra on Tour
‘The theme of roots and origins runs right through this season’, writes LSO Music Director Sir Simon Rattle. Bartók, one of the great collectors of folk music will be on decks. His work the Concerto for Orchestra, and his one and only opera, Duke Bluebeard’s Castle will be performed. The orchestra will also perform Beethoven 2020. This will celebrate 250 years since the composer’s birth. This will include the not too often performed Christ of the Mount of Olives.
“At the end of the season we’ll have a wild week, beginning with a visit from Wynton Marsalis and the legendary Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra, and an American roots programme, with lots of Gershwin, Bernstein, Ives and one of the symphonic masterpieces of the last century, Roy Harris’ Third Symphony”
This will certainly be one of their greater tours. This season seems to aim to bring in more great variety of compositions with fans drooling over their respective city dates. See their program here!
