Past - Present - Future
50 years to the day since the London Sinfonietta played its first concert, the orchestra celebrates its birthday with music that has shaped its identity – past, present and future. Co-founder David Atherton joins George Benjamin and Vladimir Jurowski in conducting a journey that begins with the music of Stravinsky, Ligeti and Birtwistle, courses through to the London premiere of Hans Abrahamsen’s piano concerto Left, alone and peers into the future with a new commission by RPS award-winning composer Samantha Fernando. Join the orchestra, along with alumni from the London Sinfonietta Academy, to see what the next 50 years have in store.
