Panufnik Composers Scheme: open workshop v LSO St Lukes
Witness a pivotal moment in the creative process as our latest set of Panufnik composers workshop their new pieces with the LSO.
Each of our six composers has 45 minutes in dialogue with the orchestra and conductor François-Xavier Roth, receiving real-time feedback as they refine their pieces under the guidance of composer Colin Matthews.
NB this workshop is free to attend but you must reserve a space.
Featuring music by the six composers on the 2017 Scheme:
JAMES HOYLE Marangona
GRACE-EVANGELINE MASON Beneath the Silken Silence
SOPHYA POLEVAYA "Plain, ordinary, wishful, dreaming..."
EMMA WILDE Tijax
ALEX WOOLF Strike Up
HAN XU Buddha holds the flower: Through the ashes of the fragrance, the blissful grandeur rises
Plus works by two 2016 Scheme composers, who were awarded the five-minute and ten-minute commissions:

DONGHOON SHIN More Light!
François-Xavier Roth: conductor
London Symphony Orchestra
Conductor François-Xavier Roth: ‘I’m very used to modern music. I love it. I love to be close to the creation of our time. But I have to say, these workshops are very special to me. It all happens in one day: in just one day we premiere six very different works. For my brain, you can’t imagine how healthy is it. My ears feel like they are going to explode at the end of the day – it’s so stimulating.’
