London Orchestra Project: Ligeti, Bartok, Strauss

LSO St Luke's Guest Artists

,LSO St Luke's
James Ham and Stephen Bryant

Principal players from London’s professional orchestras sit side-by-side outstanding students from London’s music colleges in a programme of masterpieces for strings.

Written at the end of the Second World War, Metamorphosen is an intensely emotional monument to cultural loss. Music from two giants of Hungarian music completes the evening, with Bartok’s folk inspired Divertimento and the constantly shifting patterns of Ligeti’s Ramifications.

Includes players from the BBC Symphony Orchestra, Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, Philharmonia, London Sinfonietta and London Philharmonic Orchestra.
