A time of chaos and creativity inspired some of the most unforgettable music of the 20th century.  London Symphonia’s own ‘cabaret band’ performs an eclectic program including Martinu’s Revue de Cuisine, Stravinsky’s L’Histoire du soldat, Gershwin’s Preludes, and Kurt Weill’s Mack the Knife.

Baritone Phillip Addis and the Amabile Choirs of London join London Symphonia for the world premiere of The Sleepers by Composer-in-Residence Scott Good. This new setting of Whitman’s poem is performed alongside Copland’s Clarinet Concerto with principal clarinettist Graham Lord, and Tower’s Made In America.

London Symphonia rings in the holiday season with special guests Sonja Gustafson, Joe Borowsky, the H.B. Beal Singers, and The London Singers. This concert will delight you with classics by Prokofiev and Corelli, popular favorites by Gordon Lightfoot and Joni Mitchell, and holiday classics by Duke Ellington and Vince Guaraldi.

At the turn of the 18th century, two styles of composition dominated the musical landscape - the Italian and the French – inciting a battle of notes and words. Actor Rod Beattie delivers inflammatory remarks from both sides before London Symphonia musicians use period instruments to perform works by Corelli, Vivaldi, Lully, Rameau, and Couperin.
