A Scream and an Outrage: Session Two at LSO St Luke's

Par Ninfea Cruttwell-Reade, 11 mai 2013

The title for this Barbican event certainly threw up some interesting questions. Having failed to attend a riotous dinner party that was characterised by one attendee as “a scream and an outrage”, Nico Muhly set about curating a series of concerts under this title. However, no screams or outrages occurred this weekend.
