Summary
Sir Simon Rattle leads the London Symphony Orchestra at the Barbican in an all-Adams programme featuring Harmonielehre, Frenzy, and an extract from The Gospel According to the Other Mary.
Why it's fantastic
Sir Simon Rattle leads this deep dive into the propulsive, rhythmic world of America’s most celebrated living composer. From the frantic energy of a world premiere to the shimmering, cinematic textures of Harmonielehre, it is a perfect chance to hear how modern orchestral music can feel both urgent and cinematic.
