A string quartet, an oboe and a clarinet – it’s not a large group. There are no microphones; no special effects.

But today they’ll speak a hundred languages, vault across oceans, travel in time and weave sounds like you’ve never imagined. Six LPO players immerse themselves in the contemporary culture of Britain and America; hear them break away, jump for joy and hit the dancefloor in a concert of music by five composers who defy convention and genre to create some of the most original music of the 21st century. This is chamber music, for sure – but there’s nothing small about the emotions.
