In a programme featuring some of his personal favourite pieces, he is joined by the young stars of Southbank Sinfonia, the leading orchestral academy which brings together the very best young graduates from all over the world. ‘In such lively bands as Southbank Sinfonia, bright, open-minded young players are redefining everything about classical music concerts. Give this brilliant new breed of bands a try. You may be watching a revolution.’ The Times, 2012 | ||

| Barbican Centre: Hall, London, Silk Street, London EC2Y 8DS, United Kingdom Wednesday 10-Jul-13 07:30pm The French Connection In this evening of French choral and orchestral music, scenes of pagan sensuality are contrasted with two very different sacred works. Debussy’s Prelude and Ravel’s Daphnis and Chloe are impressionistic and colourful depictions of mythical landscapes dominated by the seductive melodies of a flute. They are framed by Faure’s serene and elegiac Requiem and Poulenc’s joyful setting of the Gloria.Image credit: London Concert Choir | ||
