The Concert

The London Symphony Orchestra’s second concert in Luxembourg with Sir Simon Rattle features a winning combination of repertoire: Beethoven, a 20th-century piece, and a new contemporary work.

The Music

Tippett’s ‘Ritual Dances’ are from his ravishing opera The Midsummer Marriage, a work brimming over with mythology, symbolism and psychological journeys.

Turnage has worked with legendary jazz guitarist John Scofield for over two decades, and the Luxembourg premiere of Sco, a new Guitar Concerto, is a landmark moment in the repertoire – commissioned to celebrate Sir Simon Rattle’s 70th birthday

Beethoven’s Concerto for Piano No 4 is filled with melodic and harmonic innovations that challenged conventions of the time. 

The Performers

Sir Simon Rattle leads the LSO players across a glorious range of orchestral colours and styles, joined by the legendary John Scofield for a brand new Guitar Concerto and the renowned Krystian Zimerman on piano.
