大象传媒

For Sakari Oramo's first Barbican concert as Chief Conductor of the 大象传媒 Symphony Orchestra, he presents a characteristic mixture of cutting-edge and much-loved music. Following a world premiere by the leading spectral composer Tristan Murail, part of this season's focus on new French music, iconic pianist Olli Mustonen and star Russian trumpeter Sergei Nakariakov, described as 鈥榯he Caruso of the trumpet', join forces for Shostakovich's sparkling Piano Concerto No. 1.

From the shining idyll that opens Mahler's First Symphony, we are transported into a world rich in folk song, dance, marches and unsettling juxtapositions in this thrilling orchestral masterpiece.
