Royal College of Music | Thursday 13 October | Amaryllis Fleming Concert Hall
This concert is dedicated to the London Philharmonic Orchestra's founder Sir Thomas Beecham in the 50th anniversary year of his death in 1961.From its monolithic opening theme – kick starting a cycle of inexorable momentum like a giant pendulum – to the breathless dash of its finale, Schubert’s Ninth offers one of the most riveting journeys of any symphony. No wonder it attracted the nickname ‘Great’. Even its gently undulating Andante is filled with suspense. If Yannick Nézet-Séguin wants to convey a sense of impassioned drama in this concert, he’s chosen the right piano concerto by Mozart, too: dark, tragic undertones haunt the Concerto No. 20, the piano eventually tearing into a furious finale whose dark storm clouds are only parted by the appearance of a radiant major key.

On Tuesday 28 June, Bridge Project students, LMM Award Holder Jennifer Pike and the London Philharmonic Orchestra will premiere Charlotte Bray’s Scenes from Wonderland as part of the BrightSparks schools concert series. Charlotte tells us about writing this exciting new piece ….
Scenes from Wonderland - a new work commissioned by the London Philharmonic Orchestra and London Music Masters to be performed in the Royal Festival Hall. Throw into the mix a top soloist by the name of Jennifer Pike and around seventy seven year old violinists from London Music Masters’ Bridge Project who have been playing for around a year! The possibilities seemed endless. My main objective from the onset was to inspire and stimulate the young violinists in a piece that would allow them to shine in their performances of it, whilst at the same time I wanted to ensure that the piece was still true to me and not ‘watered down’ contemporary music.
