Get to know some of history’s iconic composers through a selection of great works – ground-breaking symphonies that are as powerful today as when they were first heard. Brahms was both a traditionalist and an innovator, moulding Classical traditions into bold Romantic gestures. His joyous Second Symphony is a lasting, firm favourite. Tchaikovsky’s symphonies are full of drama, overflowing with passionate melodies and permeated with intensely personal meanings. Explore two of the most gripping this spring: the Fourth and Sixth, both of which were inspired by the inescapable, ever-present power of fate. In February, we hear the sixth of Mahler’s ten epic symphonies. A work of striking power, it’s brought to life by a huge, dazzling orchestra, and punctuated by the three famous ‘hammer blows of fate’ that ring out in the finale. And finally in April we encounter Russian composer Shostakovich through his intriguing Sixth Symphony, which revels in ambiguity and contradiction, from the sombre opening movement to the high-spirited finale.

Vocal Versatility VOCAL VERSATILITY Thu 15 Jan Ligeti Mysteries of the Macabre Sir Simon Rattle conductor Barbara Hannigan soprano
We all have a voice, and we all have the potential to experience the unparalleled joy of music-making. Whether it’s a single voice or a massed choir of one hundred, vocal music has the ability to communicate directly to us and tap into the whole range of human emotion. The earliest music would have undoubtedly been for voice. Since its primitive beginnings the voice has remained a central thread of all musical cultures and traditions. This spring there is a series of concerts exploring the vast range of sung music, from Berlioz’s exquisite Les nuits d’été, to the dazzling vocal acrobatics of Ligeti’s Mysteries of the Macabre. LSO Sing, the Orchestra’s singing programme, also offers an abundance of opportunities to experience firsthand the pleasure of singing regardless of experience or ability. In the next singing day you can explore Duruflé’s deeply devotional Requiem in an open workshop, when Simon Halsey, the LSO’s Choral Director, offers fresh insights. 4

At first glance the worlds of folk, jazz and classical music couldn’t be further apart. Folk is the music of the people and the land. Passed on by rote from generation to generation, it is organic and adaptable. Jazz emerged as a natural progression from folk roots, retaining a sense of spontaneity and intuition whilst developing a unique and distinctive harmonic and rhythmic character. Classical music, on the other hand, is highly formalised. Taught by learned professors in the world’s most prestigious conservatoires, it is written down and performed note by note. Despite their obvious differences, when the worlds of classical, jazz and folk music collide the effect can be astounding. Lush orchestral textures and classical poise bring a new dimension to traditional folk themes and jazz rhythms. Conversely, the improvisational quality of folk and jazz can lend an emotional immediacy and sense of spontaneity to classical music. These three concerts explore the breadth of folk influence on classical music, and the ways many great composers have looked to their roots for inspiration. SEE PAGE 11 FOR BOOKING DETAILS
