Mother Goose
Southbank Centre, Royal Festival Hall, SE1 8XX , [Venue Details]Let your imagination run wild as the London Philharmonic Orchestra paints a book of fairytales in a thousand subtle and ravishing sounds.
A symphony transformed into a multicoloured vortex of desire; and another, split into pieces and rebuilt as a musical monument. Sounds fantastic? You’d expect nothing less when Sir George Benjamin is conducting.
The LPO’s new Composer in Residence is a sonic alchemist in his own right – a composer who transforms subtle and exquisite sounds into vast emotional landscapes.
He conducts his own work, Palimpsests, too: music inspired by the many different tales written on medieval manuscripts, and framed tonight by masterpieces that set Benjamin’s own imagination on fire.
Repertoire
- Scriabin: Le poème de l'extase, Op.54 (Symphony No.4)
- George Benjamin: Palimpsests
Interval
- Stravinsky: Symphonies of Wind Instruments (vers. rev. 1947)
