Music can take us to different worlds. For the LPO it’s always an adventure to play with cellist Sheku Kanneh-Mason, and tonight he summons up Bloch’s sumptuous vision of a Biblical past and a longed-for future. But Edward Gardner also conducts Rachmaninov’s sweeping Third Symphony – music filled with nostalgia, hope, and heartfelt melodies – and travels with the young British composer Robert Laidlow to the outer reaches of our galaxy, where he beams an urgent musical message back home to Earth. A very special moment in our Harmony with Nature season.
