ABOUT THE CONCERT


For LPO Conductor Emeritus Vladimir Jurowski, every concert is an opportunity to explore, and with our Moments Rememberes theme as an inspiration, he’s conceived an intensely personal programme. Two towering choral works face each otheracross the centuriess, and at first glance, John Adams’ tribute to the dead of 9/11 could hardly seem more different from Haydn’s joyous Mass setting. But even here, the drums of conflict rumble ominously in the distance. In between comes a moment of solemn reflection from György Kurtág: music that invites us to search our own memories, and find our new meanings.
