Our weekly round-up of the best classical music concerts in London is back up-and-running after a short break over the festive period, and we’ve got some amazing recommendations lined up for the new year.
To kick things off this week, the London Symphony Orchestra are presenting an evening of contemporary music and world premieres on Saturday at LSO St Luke’s.
Exploring themes of time and memory, the concert is curated by Hollie Harding and will feature new music for clarinet, accordion, cello, fixed media recordings and live electronics.
It’ll all be performed by leading contemporary music specialists Heather Roche, Eva Zöllner and Colin Alexander, the latter who starred in one of our noisenights back in March last year.
Find out more about that one here, and what else is on this week below.
