Mozart didn’t spend his 35-year-long life twiddling his thumbs. In fact, we wrote over 200 hours of music; that’s more than a solid week of back-to-back Mozart.

This concert won’t be a week long (thankfully) but it will be a whistle-stop tour of Mozart’s career, providing snapshots of how the musical legend came to be.

On the tour you’ll hear everything from Mozart’s very first symphony – an impressive feat for an 8-year-old by any standards – to one of his last, No.36 ‘Linz’. Say a prayer for the musicians during this finale; adrenaline-junkie Mozart instructs them to ‘play as fast as possible’. World-renowned concert pianist Angela Hewitt performs Mozart’s ‘Jeunehomme’ piano concerto – a technically wicked piece written in his early twenties.

Vivaldi The Four Seasons
Roxanna Panufnik Four World Seasons
Ruth Rogers (director/solo violin)

Vivaldi’s Four Seasons has earned its place as a classical music favourite. And for good reason – it seems to have it all, from the joy of spring to a blazing summer thunderstorm. Yet in between these traditional soundscapes lies the subtleties of the world’s micro-seasons that don’t get as much love.

Enter Four World Seasons; Roxanna Panufnik’s colourful composition commissioned and premiered by LMP. Written for the same instruments as Vivaldi’s masterpiece – give or take the odd Tibetan singing bowl – Panufnik’s spin-on-a-classic transports you from Japanese cherry-blossom season to the Autumnal folk rhythms of Albania.

While your ears travel through time and space, your eyes will be transported to each season through live, digital projections.
