#### Summary
Join us for a visceral and emotionally charged performance of "Carmen," where the energy of Bizet’s score meets raw, urgent choreography. Don’t miss this opportunity to witness a timeless story of love and freedom, masterfully directed by Diane Paulus and performed by an exceptional cast and orchestra.

Carmen

Yet its lilting melodies and exuberant dance rhythms could hardly be more Czech – in fact, it’s hard to think of a composer who sounds more thoroughly at home, and loving it. Pure sunshine, in other words, and a gloriously tuneful climax to a concert that begins with Weber’s spine-tingling gothic fairytale. In between: well, you can’t have missed the buzz around Isata Kanneh-Mason, and tonight this superb young British pianist joins guest conductor Martin Rajna for Beethoven’s fourth (and most personal) piano concerto. Pure poetry.

Isata Kanneh-Mason plays Beethoven

The culmination of this year’s OrchLab programme celebrates accessible music-making with disabled adults, with the London Philharmonic Orchestra and Drake Music.

OrchLab Festival Day

Three composers cry out in the void. Confronted by unimaginable horror, Schoenberg rediscovered his Jewish roots, and created a musical drama of savage, defiant courage, in tribute to the Holocaust victims. In Soviet Russia, the authorities expected Shostakovich to write a propaganda symphony: but what they got was a searing denunciation of man’s inhumanity to man – more potent, and more urgent than ever in 2024. As part of our exploration of memory, Andrey Boreyko conducts three testaments from a dark century – with the incomparable Gidon Kremer as soloist in the Violin Concerto by Mieczysław Weinberg: composer, survivor and Shostakovich’s most devoted friend.

A Dark Century

A handsome prince, a wicked wizard and a swan princess: Swan Lake might be a ballet about black magic and doomed love, but the real sorcery comes from Tchaikovsky’s ravishing score. That’s the climax of this concert – but make no mistake, tonight there’s wonder from first note to last. Weber’s fairytale overture opens the portals of enchantment, and the award-winning young American cellist Zlatomir Fung sprinkles his own brand of stardust on the delightful Rococo Variations. Tchaikovsky meets Mozart, with a twinkle in his eye.
