On 14 Sep, Leila Josefowicz joins Sir Simon Rattle in his third season as Music Director of the London Symphony Orchestra, kicking off the Orchestra’s 2019/20 season at the Barbican Centre, London.

Praised by Gramophone for her ​“superb… radiant and pointed” performance of the work, Josefowicz performs Colin Matthews’ Violin Concerto, in which ​“rhapsodic violin phrases soar over restless accompaniment in a swirling and impassioned dialogue” (London Symphony Orchestra 2019). The remainder of the programme consists of the world premiere of British composer and award-winner Emily Howard’s Antisphere and concludes with Walton’s Symphony No.1.
