Mark Allan

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.

Golfam Khayam’s Je ne suis pas une fable à conter is a new work based on a poem by Ahmad Shamlou, one of the most iconic cultural figures in Iran. Haydn's spritely Symphony No 39 is delicate and determined, light but vigorous. The Miraculous Mandarin, meanwhile, defies death in one of Bartók’s most thrilling scores.

The supremely versatile Barbara Hannigan both sings and conducts the LSO in these glorious pieces.
