OPENING NIGHT: Breathtaking Mahler and Good

Kerson Leong performs Scott Good’s Concerto for Violin and Orchestra.

London Symphonia looks to the future with the thrilling World Premiere of Yinyang, Concerto for Violin and Orchestra by Composer-in-Residence Scott Good. Performed by virtuoso violinist, Kerson Leong, the Concerto explores expression and drama through music's complementary opposites – consonance/dissonance – fast/slow – loud/soft – tense/relaxed.

Mahler’s First Symphony, known as “The Titan”, is an atmospheric arc from fragile beginnings, to raw emotion and awe-inspiring grandeur. Full of sweeping melodies, dramatic contrasts and unforgettable themes, Mahler’s First is always an unforgettable adventure. 

French-born James S. Kahane, principal conductor of the Helsinki Chamber Orchestra, co-principal conductor of the Orchestre de Chambre de la Drôme, and music director of the Hamilton Philharmonic Orchestra makes his London Symphonia conducting debut.
