London Symphony Orchestra and Elim Chan: Bartók, Matthews and Rachmaninoff

A world premiere, folk-inspired rhythms and a late symphonic masterpiece come together in this programme by the London Symphony Orchestra conducted by Elim Chan.

The evening opens with Bartók’s Dance Suite — a vibrant tapestry of folk melodies and restless rhythms, bursting with colour and energy. At the heart of the concert is the world premiere of Colin Matthews’ Oboe Concerto, performed by the LSO’s Principal Oboe Olivier Stankiewicz, for whom the work was written.

The programme concludes with Rachmaninoff’s Symphonic Dances, the composer’s final major orchestral work — bold, richly scored and unmistakably lyrical, standing as one of the great orchestral showpieces of the 20th century.
