Rachmaninov’s Third tickets

Music can take us to different worlds. In this concert, Bloch’s Schelomo evokes a sumptuous vision of a Biblical past and a longed-for future, performed by acclaimed cellist Nicolas Altstaedt. Edward Gardner also conducts Rachmaninov’s sweeping Third Symphony – music filled with nostalgia, hope, and heartfelt melodies – and travels with the young British composer Robert Laidlow to the outer reaches of our galaxy, where he beams an urgent musical message back home to Earth. A very special moment in our Harmony with Nature season.

* Commissioned by the London Philharmonic Orchestra and the Interfinity Festival Basel, in collaboration with Professor Raymond Pierrehumbert, Associate Professor Hannah Wakeford and NCCR Planets.
