Melos Sinfonia: Written on Skin

LSO St Luke's Guest Artists

Lauren Fagan

Oliver Zeffman conducts the Melos Sinfonia and five outstanding young soloists in a new concert staging of George Benjamin's landmark work directed by Jack Furness.

Written on Skin, by George Benjamin with a libretto by Martin Crimp drawn from a 13th-century Occitan legend, has been universally acclaimed since its première at the Aix-en-Provence Festival in 2012.

In addition to this performance at LSO St. Luke's, the production will tour to West Road Concert Hall in Cambridge and to the Mariinsky Theatre in St. Petersburg.
