Approved

GEORGE BENJAMIN — Concerto for Orchestra
PAUL HINDEMITH — Symphony Mathis der Maler
SERGUEI RACHMANINOFF — Piano Concerto No. 3 in D Minor, Op. 30

Conducted by Susanna Mälkki, the London Symphony Orchestra's second major concert crosses portraits of composer George Benjamin and pianist Kirill Gerstein, with virtuosity as the common denominator – as in Rachmaninoff’s highly popular Third Concerto. The evening opens with Benjamin's ‘playful and volatile’ Concerto for Orchestra and continues with Hindemith's Symphony Mathis der Maler – an homage to the famous Isenheim Altarpiece.
