London Philharmonic Orchestra: Mahler’s Fourth tickets

A jangle of sleighbells, a flurry of birdsong … in music, sometimes the simplest things are the most powerful.

Mahler’s playful Fourth Symphony begins under pure blue skies and ends in a child’s dream of heaven.

Hans Abrahamsen’s Let me tell you paints its pictures in the purest shades of light, and this Shakespeare song-cycle with a haunting difference has already become one of the 21st century’s best-loved classics.

Uniting these wondrous worlds tonight are Edward Gardner and the LPO – plus, of course, the pristine voice of soprano Jennifer France, described by one critic as ‘the living jewel in opera’s crown’.
