The movie Chevalier popularised the incredible life story of Joseph Bologne, Chevalier de Saint-Georges, but his music is even more exciting, and today it’s just the start of an adventure that begins in 18th-century Paris, and ends with the glorious melodies of Dvořák’s ‘New World’ Symphony.
It’s popular for a reason, but for pure elegance and enchantment it’s hard to top Mozart’s Concerto for Flute and Harp, performed by LPO Principal Flute Juliette Bausor plus the incredible Alexander Boldachev – a harpist with the charisma of a rock star. LPO 2024/25 Fellow Conductor Matthew Lynch completes a dream team: this should be magical.
LPO Showcase: Junior Artists
The LPO Junior Artists Programme supports exceptionally talented teenage musicians from backgrounds currently under-represented in professional UK orchestras.
Junior Artists spend a season with us and become fully immersed in the workings of the LPO. They are each mentored by a member of the Orchestra, and take part in a variety of performances, behind-the-scenes activities and skills workshops, as well as events to inspire future generations of young musicians.
In this free performance, the Junior Artists perform alongside LPO musicians, Foyle Future Firsts and Junior Artist alumni in a celebration of vibrant young talent, under the baton of Matthew Lynch, LPO Fellow Conductor 2024/25.
