Due to scheduling changes, the London Symphony Orchestra concert featuring the world premiere of [pictured] Mark Simpson’s five-movement Violin Concerto with Nicola Benedetti, and Principal Guest Conductor Gianandrea Noseda will now be broadcast on Marquee TV on Thursday 29 April at 7.00pm and not Thursday 22 April. It will be free to view for seven days and subsequently available on demand via subscription.
The piece was commissioned by the London Symphony Orchestra (with the support of the Ernst von Siemens Music Foundation), WDR Sinfonieorchester, Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra and Royal Scottish National Orchestra.
Completing the programme will be Tchaikovsky Symphony No 6, ‘Pathetique’.
