London Symphony Orchestra

“Davis inspires the London Symphony Orchestra… to a performance of vigor and refinement.”
—Financial Times

The legendary maestro Sir Colin Davis leads the esteemed London Symphony Orchestra in two programs reflecting his special musical passions: an all-Sibelius program, followed by Beethoven’s choral masterwork, the Missa solemnis. The third concert of the series features Benjamin Britten’s deeply moving War Requiem, with conductor Gianandrea Noseda and vocalists Ian Bostridge and Simon Keenlyside.
