The LSO is joined by the Mercury Prize-nominated ensemble seed., led by saxophonist Cassie Kinoshi, for an evening of new and classic music celebrating the natural world.
Anna Clyne’s vibrant The Midnight Hour opens the evening with a cinematic flair, brimming with rich orchestral colours that set the stage for a night of kaleidoscopic sound. Beethoven’s Pastoral Symphony, a heartfelt ode to nature, evokes serene landscapes – from babbling brooks to lively folk dances – reflecting the solace the composer found in the natural world.
Closing the performance is Cassie Kinoshi’s brand new piece, HEART, which takes its title and inspiration from Jamaican writer and activist Una Marson’s 1931 poem Nature’s Heart. Seamlessly weaving together musical styles, the work celebrates the beauty of nature while underscoring the urgency of the climate crisis.
