London Symphony Orchestra: Half Six Fix – Scriabin

with Sir Antonio Pappano

Sir Antonio Pappano talking to the audience in the Barbican concert hall

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

Alexander Scriabin’s The Poem of Ecstasy is, as the title suggests, an intense, mystical work which seeks to capture the composer’s notions of artistic, religious and sexual euphoria. A sort of sonic translation of his own poetry, Scriabin makes full use of the orchestra to huge emotional effect. The music flows without a break, conjuring images of divine realms and mystical plains. 

LSO Chief Conductor Sir Antonio Pappano introduces and conducts a performance that is sure to captivate audiences exactly as Scriabin intended.  

The concert will finish at approximately 7.30pm (timings subject to change).

Produced by the London Symphony Orchestra.

The work of the Chief Conductor with the LSO is generously supported by Alex & Elena Gerko, and members of the Chief Conductor's Circle.
