LPO Breaking Ground: Bryce Dessner & the Labèque sisters
Guitarist with acclaimed American rock band The National, Bryce Dessner is an established composer in his own right, pursuing a bewildering array of musical collaborations with everyone from Jonny Greenwood to Steve Reich and composing the Golden Globe-nominated score for The Revenant. And now he’s written a double piano concerto for the LPO and the legendary Labèque sisters. This brand new work from one of the most prodigiously talented musicians working today will receive its world premiere between the dazzling melodies of Rachmaninoff’s Third Symphony and razor-sharp brilliance of Stravinsky’s Jeu de cartes.
