One of the highlights of the season must surely be this concert by the London Symphony Orchestra under their charismatic music director, Valery Gergiev. Chosen as one of the top five orchestras in the world by a recent Gramophone Magazine poll of critics, the London Symphony Orchestra have maintained a level of excellence which is rarely matched. Two years ago they appointed Gergiev as their Music Director, which has resulted in one of the great musical partnerships of recent years.
In a programme of Russian and French orchestra showpieces, Gergiev will give Warwick Arts Centre music-lovers a wonderful opportunity to hear why this orchestra is regarded so highly.
The evening ends with Ravel’s pulsating Bolero, a performance which will undoubtedly be one of the musical highlights of the season.
