Antonio Pappano, Chief Conductor
Alisa Weilerstein, cello
Elizabeth Maconchy: Nocturne
Edward Elgar: Cello Concerto in E minor, op.85
Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky: Symphony No. 5 in E minor, TH29
This is orchestral music at the highest possible level. The legendary London Symphony Orchestra joins Sir Antonio Pappano—one of the great musicians of our era—for a program of emotional depth and sweeping grandeur. Alisa Weilerstein brings extraordinary intensity to Elgar’s Cello Concerto, a work of aching beauty and introspection, while Tchaikovsky’s Fifth Symphony surges with passion, drama, and triumph. A landmark event of the season.
