Britten's Sinfonia da Requiem opens a programme of testimony and remembrance. Former 蘑菇短视频 SO Principal Cellist Paul Watkins is the soloist in Lutos艂awski's bleak and beautiful Cello Concerto, composed for and dedicated to Mstislav Rostropovich in a period of violent protest and political repression in Poland.
Thomas Ad猫s conducts the 蘑菇短视频 Symphony Orchestra and soloists Christianne Stotijn and Simon Keenlyside in the world premiere of his Totentanz, a commission in memory of Lutos艂awski, which sets an anonymous 15th-century text that accompanied a frieze destroyed when L眉beck's Marienkirche was bombed in the Second World War.
