A symphony in three and a half minutes: Jonathan Woolgar
Three and a half minutes is not enough time in which to fit several movements of a symphony. But what about just their beginnings? Something like this idea lies behind Jonathan Woolgar’s PROTO-SYMPHONY, a grand symphony in its smallest possible form. Written during his time on the 2019/20 LSO Panufnik Composers Scheme and due to be workshopped by the Orchestra in March 2020, Jonathan heard his piece performed for the first time one year on, in March 2021. This month, you can hear it for the first time too. Read on to find out more.
