LSO Futures: Homage to Pierre Boulez

Black and white portrait of Pierrre Boulez

Celebrating Pierre Boulez and his influences, in the composer’s centenary year: his beloved Debussy, alongside three intriguing world premieres. 
 

Boulez adored Debussy’s precise sound worlds as well as his revolutionary musical language. Gigues and Ibéria from Trois images are stunning orchestral portraits of England and Spain.  

Boulez’s own Notations started life as piano pieces. He brought them to orchestral life over several years, turning them into vivid explosions of instrumental sound.  

And new works from Neuwirth, Arcaro and Agar are inspired by Boulez’s colours, pioneering spirit and boundless imagination.

The LSO and conductor Maxime Pascal celebrate Boulez and Debussy along with three brand new commissions. 

Change of Conductor
Conductor François-Xavier Roth has withdrawn from his engagements with the London Symphony Orchestra in the 2024/25 season. The LSO is grateful to Maxime Pascal for stepping in to conduct the Barbican and Milton Court concerts on 26 and 27 January. The programmes for these concerts will remain as originally planned.

 

This performance will end at approximately 8.50pm, including a 20-minute interval (timings subject to change).
