André J Thomas delivers a despatch from the front line of Black classical music in the US – including Wynton Marsalis’ dramatic new Tuba Concerto.
One woman crosses centuries: a musical story of injustice, courage and enduring strength. A narrator and an orchestra lead a meditation, based on the words of James Baldwin, on the world as it is – and as it could be. And a jazz icon takes the lowest instrument in the orchestra – the tuba – and makes it a star. This is music that speaks straight to the heart about the stories that matter right now.
André J Thomas is one of the most inspiring forces in modern American music: a composer, a conductor and a world expert on the Gospel tradition. His energy and commitment make him a perfect partner for the LSO’s Principal Tuba Ben Thomson in Wynton Marsalis’ new Tuba Concerto.
Standard seating is being used for this concert. We encourage audience members to bring and wear a face covering, unless you are exempt.
