Kick-start your evening with a Half Six Fix concert. One piece in a 60-minute concert, introduced by the performers, with screens in the hall to bring you closer to the action.

The Programme

Gianandrea Noseda conducts and introduces Tchaikovsky’s Sixth Symphony, a work both deeply private and deeply felt, in which the composer pours out his emotions in an ardent torrent of music.

In his letters, Tchaikovsky said that the meaning of his Sixth Symphony would remain a secret from audiences. We do know one thing: by ending it not with a triumphant finale but with an intimate lament, he created new, intensely personal possibilities for music.

The Performers

With Principal Guest Conductor Gianandrea Noseda at the helm, the LSO burns brightly.

‘I have put my whole soul into this symphony.’ – Tchaikovsky on Symphony No 6
