“London’s most adventurous and dynamic mainstream orchestra.” The Times (U.K.)

“It is the character of a great virtuoso to make the instrument become an extension of the player. Kopatchinskaja, though, is the violin. She plays in a state of astonishment and the violin becomes her.” – Mark Swed, Los Angeles Times

Led by principal conductor Edward Gardner, the London Philharmonic Orchestra performs a new piece by Pulitzer Prize-winning composer Tania León. Violinist Patricia Kopatchinskaja joins the orchestra for Shostakovich’s Violin Concerto No. 1. Tchaikovsky’s Fourth Symphony takes listeners on an emotional journey with moments of anguish to pure ecstasy. From plucking strings, to rushing scales, and a celebratory ending, this rousing performance will bring you to your feet!
