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

Sir Antonio Pappano leads a cinematic journey ranging from the haunting, misty waters of Finnish mythology to the frozen expanses of the South Pole. You have the chance to hear a brand new violin concerto before the orchestra unleashes the shivering percussion and wordless vocals of a symphony originally written for film.
