The London Philharmonic Orchestra perform at Urbana's Foellinger Great Hall.

The programme opens with a brand new work by Kennedy Center Honoree and Pulitzer Prize winning composer Tania León, the LPO’s Composer-in-Residence. Tchaikovsky’s beloved Symphony No. 4, from its opening fanfare to its stirring finale, brings a joyful conclusion to the programme. As the centrepiece of the programme, the LPO has invited violinist Patricia Kopatchinskaja to perform Shostakovich’s emotionally rich First Violin Concerto.
