Join the world famous London Symphony Orchestra (LSO) at the Barbican Hall on Sunday 31st May. Presenter Paul Rissmann will lead you on a whirlwind trip around the globe: through a ferocious Italian storm, across the vast African desert and into a haunted Russian fairground. There is even a bit of audience participation with a specially arranged version of Beethoven’s Ode to Joy. The concert will also feature a brand new film by digital animator Victor Craven which will be shown during an exhilarating performance of Bernstein’s Candide Overture, and the show will finish with a quick visit to Hogwarts!
