Founded by Claudio Abbado in 1986, the
pan-European Gustav Mahler Jugendorchester
remains one of the most musically exciting and
technically polished youth orchestras in the world.
Tonight, Philippe Jordan directs the GMJO in the
overture to Wagner’s Rienzi and Shostakovich’s
Fifth Symphony, written in an atmosphere of intense
scrutiny and artistic repression, after the public
denouncement of his opera The Lady Macbeth
of the Mtsensk District. Ravel’s jazz-inflected Piano
Concerto in G major completes the programme,
with the flamboyant French pianist Jean-Yves
Thibaudet as the soloist.Tickets £9.50 - £46.
