Taking place on 20 September in Barbican Hall, the anniversary concert will celebrate the amazing work of the LSSO, hailed by Sir Simon Rattle as ‘an incomparable ambassador for the dynamism and excellence of British youth’.
The concert is set to premiere Eleanor Alberga’s new trumpet concerto, Invocation, which is based on Latin American and Caribbean folk legends. The LSSO recently celebrated Alberga’s 70th birthday with a staged performance of her orchestral showpiece Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.
Invocation was initially paired with dance choreography by Royal Ballet star Fernando Montano, but due to COVID-19 its opening performance was cancelled. Instead, in this performance Invocation will be accompanied by two ballet scores: Debussy’s Prelude à l’après-midi d’un faune, and Stravinsky’s Petrushka.
