London Philharmonic Orchestra

1 Oct, 2024

London Philharmonic Orchestra returns to Brighton for a season of dazzling concerts.

Celebrating 25 years at Brighton Dome, the London Philharmonic Orchestra (LPO) returns to Brighton. Principal Conductor Edward Gardner makes his debut at the Dome and opens the season with a bang, launching the Orchestra’s first concert with Beethoven’s stirring ‘Egmont’ Overture. The drama ramps up further as superstar violinist Patricia Kopatchinskaja – ‘a player of rare expressive energy’ (New York Times) – wrings every drop of emotion from Shostakovich’s powerful Violin Concerto No. 1, before Sibelius’s glorious, uplifting Fifth Symphony.

There’s more Beethoven to come in November, when the Orchestra shares the stage with celebrated British pianist Isata Kanneh-Mason. The rising star makes her LPO debut with Beethoven’s Fourth Piano Concerto, considered by many to be his most beautiful. Young Hungarian conductor Martin Rajna also makes his debut in a programme that includes Weber’s colourful Der Freischütz Overture and Dvořák’s tuneful Eighth Symphony, a work of pure sunshine and poetry.

The Orchestra returns to Brighton Dome in February to celebrate the 150th anniversary of French composer Ravel with LPO 2024/25 Fellow Conductor Juya Shin. Mentored by Principal Conductor Edward Gardner, she’ll take to the stage for a programme featuring Ravel’s haunting Pavane and the Piano Concerto for the Left Hand, performed by the phenomenal one-handed British pianist Nicholas McCarthy. The drama continues with Rimsky-Korsakov’s Scheherazade, sweeping us all away on a voyage to the enchanting world of the Arabian Nights.

March sees more favourites of the Classical repertoire, when conductor Adam Hickox and violinist Hyeyoon Park bring the concert season to a stylish close with a delightful programme of Schumann, Beethoven and Brahms. As well as the concerts on the Brighton Dome stage, the LPO is delighted to share the wonder of classical music with local South Coast communities. With local partners, they’re working together to offer musical opportunities for people of all ages in the area.
