Dreaming of Peace

Is peace a vain dream or could it one day become reality? Composed in the months leading up to the start of World War II, Benjamin Britten's Violin Concerto begins as a prayer but ends in a cry, according to the featured soloist, Janine Jansen. Dmitri Shostakovich's Symphony No. 10 provides a particularly powerful echo to this work. Written at the death of Joseph Stalin, it portrays an unequivocal image of the brutality of the communist regime as well as the mix of pain and despair it inspired in the composer. During this poignant evening, the London Symphony Orchestra will also and above all demonstrate that from the deepest adversity, hope will always arise.
