Summary
Thomas Adès conducts the LSO, soprano Anna Dennis and chorus at the Barbican in works by Sibelius, Kaija Saariaho and the London premiere of his own composition, America: A Prophecy.
Why it's fantastic
Hear Thomas Adès lead his own haunting 2024 premiere alongside Sibelius’s final symphony, a single movement of concentrated orchestral power. The addition of a chorus and soprano soloist makes this an expansive, textured journey through modern soundscapes that feel as vast and restless as the Finnish sea.
