Summary
Santtu-Matias Rouvali leads the Philharmonia Orchestra at De Montfort Hall in a programme featuring Beethoven’s First Symphony alongside works by Steve Reich and John Adams.
Why it's fantastic
John Adams opens the evening with a high-speed mechanical thrill that feels exactly like its title suggests. It leads into Beethoven’s playful first symphony and a rare chance to hear Steve Reich’s shimmering vocal masterpiece, offering a perfect balance of classical tradition and the hypnotic pulse of the modern world.
