Conductor: Oliver Till

Leader: Tina Bowles

Programme:

• Jak Poore - The Forgotten Forest (premiere)

• Robert Schumann - Konzertstück for Four Horns in F

• Brahms - Symphony No 1

London Medical Orchestra’s summer concert features music by two close friends, and a new work specially written for LMO. 

Brahms worked on his first symphony for over 20 years, inspired and confronted by Beethoven’s works in this genre. The result, essentially a journey from minor to major, from struggle to triumph, has become a firm favourite among both performers and audience.

Robert Schumann’s Konzertstück for Four Horns and orchestra exploited the new technical possibilities of the recently-developed valve horn and perhaps he asked himself: “Why have one soloist when you could have four?!”
