London Symphony Orchestra: Adámek and Beethoven

October 31 | 7:00 pm 9:00 pm

Celebrating the Year of Czech Music, the 28th Made In Prague Festival will launch at a concert by the LSO featuring Follow Me, a Concerto for Violin and Orchestra by Czech composer Ondrej Adamek and Ludwig van Beethoven´s Symphony No 1 and Symphony No 4. Early Beethoven’s wit and jokes pair with a cat-and-mouse chase around the orchestra from Ondřej Adámek whose concerto invites listeners into a playful and increasingly wild imitation game between soloist and orchestra. Expect a dynamic dialogue of sounds and rhythms, blending surprise with lots of joy. Composer and conductor Thomas Adès and the brilliant violinist Isabelle Faust join the Orchestra on stage for this compelling programme.
