Event information
The London Schools Symphony Orchestra returns to the Barbican Hall for an evening of music shaped by passion, lyricism and dramatic intensity.
The programme moves from the vibrant colours of Gabriela Ortiz’s Kauyumari to the intimate expressiveness of Richard Strauss’s celebrated songs, performed by Guildhall sopranos Lowri Probert and Avery Lafrentz.
Wagner’s Prelude and ‘Liebestod’ from Tristan und Isolde closes the first half with its sweeping emotional arc and shimmering orchestration. After the interval, Rachmaninov’s Symphonic Dances Op 45 brings the concert to a powerful conclusion – a late masterpiece of rhythmic vitality and rich orchestral colour.
From Strauss’s lyrical refinement to Wagner’s harmonic daring and Rachmaninov’s dramatic sweep, Rituals of the Heart offers a programme of striking emotional range, performed by one of the UK’s leading youth orchestras.
Duration: Approx 2-hours, including a 20-minute interval
