In 2012/13 the Orchestra is proud to celebrate its 80th
anniversary season. Throughout 2013 we are collaborating with
Southbank Centre on an exciting festival based on Alex Ross’s
book, The Rest Is Noise, charting the 20th century’s key works in
music and their relationship to the political turmoil of the century.
Season highlights include thought-provoking programmes from
Principal Conductor & Artistic Advisor Vladimir Jurowski, who
conducts rarely heard treasures by Zemlinsky, Schoenberg, Shchedrin
and musical theatre master, Kurt Weill, as well as three concerts
based around the theme of War and Peace, one each with the
London Philharmonic Orchestra and Russian National Orchestra
and one concert of the two orchestras together.
Principal Guest Conductor Yannick Nézet-Séguin conducts Haydn
and Richard Strauss; Marin Alsop concentrates on the 20th-century
American musical landscape and we welcome back much-loved
regular artists including Sir Mark Elder, Christoph Eschenbach,
Osmo Vänskä, Christian Tetzlaff and Lawrence Power. We also
continue to champion new music, giving the UK première of Carl Vine’s
Second Piano Concerto with Piers Lane.
