A live concert from the 大象传媒 Singers at St. Paul's Knightsbridge with a varied programme including Xenakis, Saariaho and Mendelssohn. Then Katie Derham concludes her week in the company of 大象传媒 NOW with Mahler's mighty First Symphony under Principal Conductor Thomas Sondergard, a performance which brought last season to a thrilling climax.
