The Concert

An American dream: Dvořák’s ode to the US and Bernstein’s gritty portrait of New York frame a new concerto.

The Music

The Symphonic Dances from West Side Story are Bernstein’s own exhilarating whistle-stop tour through his greatest musical, with dazzling orchestrations and moments of heart-stopping beauty.

We turn next to New York-born composer Lowell Liebermann whose 2023 Flute Concerto No 2 has been lauded for its tunefulness and fizzing energy, and finally Dvořák and his epic hymn to the vast and infinite beauty of rural America.

The Performers

Gareth Davies, the LSO’s Principal Flute, takes to the stage for Liebermann’s concerto, all conducted by one of today’s most dynamic and engaging conductors, Anja Bihlmaier.

Public booking opens Wednesday 16 April 10am
