About This Event

Composed in the shadow of the Second World War, Britten’s Sinfonia da Requiem opens Dalia Stasevska’s first concert at the Barbican as the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Symphony Orchestra’s Principal Guest Conductor.

Following Stravinsky’s Symphony of Psalms - a devout musical gesture, re-imagining religious rituals on a symphonic scale, for which the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½SO are joined by the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Singers, they complete the concert with Rachmaninov’s exhilarating Symphonic Dances. Although composed just three years before his death, it pulses with exhilarating rhythmic energy, embracing jazz, plainchant and the waltz.
