Looking back on Lights in the Dark
This season, we’ve explored and celebrated composers who found themselves at odds with their societies, composers who faced exile and adversity and transformed the experience into pure life force, and other great creative spirits faced prejudice simply because of who they were. Our Music Director Vasily Petrenko conducted a series of concerts at Southbank Centre's Royal Festival Hall and the Royal Albert Hall that included Shostakovich's Leningrad Symphony, Florence Price's Piano Concerto in One Movement, Bartók's Concerto for Orchestra and Tchaikovsky's Fourth Symphony. We were privileged to welcome guest artists such as Yunchan Lim, Bruce Liu, Jeneba Kanneh-Mason, and Maxim Vengerov.
