Conductor Gianandrea Noseda puts the LSO through its paces ahead of this Barbican concert on 29 September. Works include Shostakovich Symphony No 6.
Intense brushes of Mediterranean musical colours – from fado to flamenco – permeate the elegant landscapes of Dutch singer Nynke’s inimitable chanson creations. Sung in Frisian – her music nurtures a strong sense of communion by re-establishing spiritual bonds with the land.
UNSOUND: LUSTMORD + PIANOHOOLIGAN Welsh-born, California-based Brian Williams (aka Lustmord) brings his solo audio-visual show to London.

One of the most awarded musicians of his generation, the 23-year-old received first prize at the prestigious Montreux Jazz Solo Piano Competition and has collaborated with an eclectic list of artists including Krzysztof Penderecki and Adrian Utley from Portishead.
