Summary

Sir Antonio Pappano conducts the LSO at the Barbican, featuring Sheku Kanneh-Mason in a new cello concerto by Edmund Finnis alongside Bruckner’s Ninth Symphony.

Why it's fantastic

Sir Antonio Pappano leads this contrast between the new and the monumental, featuring a fresh concerto written for cellist Sheku Kanneh-Mason. The evening finishes with Bruckner’s final symphony, a work left unfinished at his death that remains one of the most powerful and spiritual experiences in the orchestral repertoire.
