London Symphony Orchestra & Thomas Adès
Composer and conductor Thomas Adès leads the London Symphony Orchestra in a programme celebrating elemental and enigmatic works. The performance features Sibelius’ myth-inspired Les Océanides and his haunting Symphony No 7. Fellow Finn Kaija Saariaho’s Oltra mar examines themes of travel and time through powerful orchestral and choral textures. The evening concludes with Adès’ own orchestral fable, America: A Prophecy, featuring soprano Anna Dennis and the London Symphony Chorus, providing a darkly intense exploration of an apocalyptic future.
