About this event
Music, nature, magic and reality: Sibelius鈥檚 mighty Seventh Symphony can sound as if it was wrought from rock, ice and the air itself. It鈥檚 one artist鈥檚 response to an age of global crisis 鈥 just as Jimmy Lopez鈥檚 Altered Landscape evokes images of progress, reflection and a world transformed by humanity鈥檚 shared experiences in the 21st century. For Lopez, music can 鈥減lant a seed of hope and beauty in all of us鈥, and his colourful, urgently communicative compositions have caused a sensation in the USA.
The 成人快手 Concert Orchestra鈥檚 Chief Conductor Anna-Maria Helsing brings Lopez's message to the UK tonight 鈥 and joins Britain鈥檚 best-loved saxophonist Jess Gillam on a joyous adventure to another isle of wonder, in Michael Nyman鈥檚 exuberant, Shakespeare-inspired modern classic.
