Part of the 2017/18 season
Enjoy the evening's concert outdoors as the opening concert of the LSO 2017/18 Season is relayed live on the big screen in the Barbican Sculpture Court. This is a silent cinema event – you will listen to the concert through your own set of headphones.
This is it. A new beginning and a statement of intent. The first concert from the new Music Director of the London Symphony Orchestra.
This is Helen Grime and Thomas Adès, Oliver Knussen and Elgar. This is Sir Harrison Birtwistle and Sir Simon Rattle. This is the best of British music together.
This is starting with something new and ending with something timeless, celebrating those that came between: five generations of our best composers and two performers without peers.
This is the LSO.
This is Christian Tetzlaff.
This is Sir Simon Rattle, LSO Music Director.
Finally, we’d ask you to remember that the Outdoor Cinema is in a residential area, so we would kindly ask you to keep noise to a minimum when leaving the event.
Presented by Barbican
