London Symphony Orchestra/ Half Six Fix – Beethoven

with Thomas Adès

,Hall
London SymphonyOrchestra performing on the Barbican Hall stage.

Kick-start your evening with a Half Six Fix concert. One piece in a 60-minute concert, introduced by the performers, with screens in the hall to bring you closer to the action. 

Beethoven’s First Symphony is witty and elegant. Yet there are moments which foretell the bold, stormy moments that would follow in his later symphonies, such as the opening for the First’s finale.  

Composer, conductor and regular LSO collaborator Thomas Adès introduces this performance, and leads the Orchestra in a piece brimming with passion and feeling.  


‘When a composer as brilliant as Thomas Adès takes to the conductor’s podium you can be sure of something special.’ The Telegraph
