There is much to celebrate this season.
Firstly, we continue our year-long
The Rest Is Noise collaboration with
Southbank Centre, exploring some
of the influential orchestral works
composed during the second half of
the 20th century. Composers we’ll
be highlighting include Messiaen,
Lutosławski, Arvo Pärt and John Adams,
and we’ll also present extracts from
seminal film scores written between
1960 and 2000.
We’re delighted to open our season
with a three-concert celebration of
the music of Benjamin Britten, whose
centenary year is being marked
worldwide throughout 2013. Principal
Conductor and Artistic Advisor Vladimir
Jurowski leads this tribute to one of
the most important cultural figures
of the 20th century, conducting two
large-scale masterpieces – Peter Grimes and the War Requiem – alongside
some lesser-known orchestral gems.
We shine the spotlight on some of
the exciting new artistic talent to have
emerged in recent years including
two dynamic young conductors, Andrés
Orozco-Estrada and Andrey Boreyko;
pianist Alexandre Tharaud; cellists
Jean-Guihen Queyras and Johannes
Moser; and guitarist Miloš Karadaglic´. To complement their raw talent
and energy, we welcome a host of
distinguished artists including Mitsuko
Uchida, Ian Bostridge, Leif Ove Andsnes,
Evelyn Glennie and Emanuel Ax.
We are also thrilled to bring you two
world premieres – James MacMillan’s
Viola Concerto and the late Górecki’s
eagerly awaited Fourth Symphony.
I hope you’ll join us for another rich and
colourful season.
