In recent years Grammy-winning composer and conductor, Eric Whitacre, has become one of today’s most popular and frequently-performed composers. In this special concert, Eric Whitacre returns to London to conduct an all-American programme, exploring little-known gems and masterpieces by Bernstein, John Adams and Copland, alongside several of Whitacre’s most popular works, including Lux Aurumque, which ignited his ground-breaking Virtual Choir, to the lively and entertaining Godzilla Eats Las Vegas!
