Summary
Sakari Oramo conducts the BBC Symphony Orchestra and Chorus in a Barbican programme featuring Vaughan Williams’s Tallis Fantasia, Sibelius’s Seventh Symphony, and a percussion concerto with soloist Colin Currie.
Why it's fantastic
Vaughan Williams originally designed this hypnotic string masterpiece to shimmer within the cavernous stone acoustics of a cathedral. You will also see a massive array of percussion instruments take over the stage for a physical, high-energy concerto before the evening closes with a cinematic journey through frozen, icy landscapes.
