Das kostenfrei besuchbare Konzert mitten in der britischen Metropole beginnt um 17:00 Uhr. Zum ersten Mal spielt das London Symphony Orchestra im Rahmen der BMW Classics unter der Leitung von Sir Antonio Pappano.
Free open-air concert in the heart of London
BMW Group and the London Symphony Orchestra present the 13th edition of BMW Classics in London’s renowned Trafalgar Square on Sunday 15 June at 5pm. The concert highlights the continued partnership between the BMW Group and the London Symphony Orchestra, which since 2012 has brought superlative live orchestral music to audiences in one of the world’s most iconic public spaces and to tens of thousands more around the globe watching on YouTube.
From this year, the concert and a selection of previous LSO concerts can also be streamed in selected BMW models.
The programme celebrates Sir Antonio Pappano’s Italian heritage with the prerequisite passion and soaring melodies from some of the great Italian composers for opera and orchestra.
The concert opens with the spirited overture to Rossini’s final Italian opera Semiramide, before Puccini’s dramatic early orchestral work Capriccio sinfonico, filled with familiar themes that the composer would go on to revisit for some of his biggest operas.
At the centre of the concert, the LSO gives the world premiere of Isabella Gellis’ new work Opera for Orchestra, which has been specially commissioned for this occasion. Her piece, written for a mixed-ability orchestra, brings together LSO and Guildhall School musicians with 55 young musicians from east London as part of the LSO Discovery programmes.
To finish, the Orchestra performs the rousing Triumphal March & Dance from Verdi’s opera Aida, and the final flourish of Victor de Sabata’s luscious symphonic hymn to youth, Juventus.
