Summary

Sir Antonio Pappano conducts the LSO at the Barbican in Vaughan Williams’s Sinfonia antartica and the world premiere of Richard Dubugnon’s Sonnenring, featuring violinist Janine Jansen.

Why it's fantastic

Witness the first performance of a new work written for Janine Jansen, one of the most expressive violinists performing today. The evening concludes with a symphonic journey through the frozen landscapes of the South Pole, featuring the haunting wind machine and wordless soprano voices used to evoke a sub-zero wilderness.
