London Orchestra Project: Ligeti, Bartok, Strauss

Principal players from London’s professional orchestras including the BBC Symphony Orchestra, Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, Philharmonia, London Sinfonietta and London Philharmonic Orchestra sit side-by-side outstanding students from London’s music colleges in a programme of masterpieces for strings.

Written at the end of the Second World War, Metamorphosen is an intensely emotional monument to cultural loss. Music from two giants of Hungarian music completes the evening, with Bartok’s folk inspired Divertimento and the constantly shifting patterns of Ligeti’s Ramifications.
