Sibelius: Ray Chen and the London Symphony Orchestra

A propos du spectacle

Encounter the great Finnish composer in all his many moods, as Michael Tilson Thomas leads the LSO and star violinist Ray Chen in an all‐Sibelius program.

From the virtuosic extravagance of the Violin Concerto to the exuberant joy of the Seventh Symphony, via the extraordinarily fresh purity of the Sixth, this is a survey of a composer who explored all possible musical options. Working in traditional symphonic form, or a revolutionary single movement, finding new things to say in the 'overused' key of C Major, Sibelius' endless invention and thirst for variety assure his place in the musical pantheon.
