Carnival of the Animals
Southbank Centre, Queen Elizabeth Hall, SE1 8XX , [Venue Details]Animations and beloved music combine to tell a magical new story about humanity’s relationship with nature, with the London Philharmonic Orchestra.
A graceful swan, a waltzing elephant, and a whole chorus-line of high-kicking fossils … when Saint-Saëns wrote The Carnival of the Animals, his tongue was very firmly in his cheek.
But beneath the humour, there’s a real wisdom and warmth to his ever-popular ‘grand zoological fantasy’, brought to life tonight with the help of Sandra Albukrek’s enchanting animations.
Lidiya Yankovskaya brings the same energy and imagination to Dvořák’s storm-swept symphony, plus an immersive piano concerto featuring live electronic sound and video – a brand-new showcase for the inimitable genius of genre-crossing pianist Tomoko Mukaiyama.
Repertoire
- Dvořák: Symphony No.7
Interval
- Ryan Carter: Piano Concerto (World premiere)
- Saint-Saëns: The Carnival of the Animals with film animation by Sandra Albukrek
