CLASSICAL SEASON 2020 / 21 Welcome Our Classical Season 2020/21 offers an exciting vision for classical music, now and for years to come. We welcome three award-winning musicians as our new Associate Artists. Our four resident orchestras, the London Philharmonic Orchestra, the Philharmonia Orchestra, the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment and the London Sinfonietta, present series jam-packed with outstanding music – including farewell seasons from the LPO’s Principal Conductor and Artistic Advisor Vladimir Jurowski, and Principal Conductor and Artistic Advisor of the Philharmonia, Esa-Pekka Salonen. As part of their final seasons, both conductors will exploit the dramatic possibilities of the Royal Festival Hall, with a complete Wagner Ring Cycle from Jurowski and a concert staging of Strauss’ Elektra from Salonen. The great pianist Daniel Barenboim returns to our much-loved hall and we are also proud to present Europe’s oldest civic orchestra, the Gewandhausorchester Leipzig. I look forward to seeing you here, at the beating heart of classical music in London. Elaine Bedell Chief Executive, Southbank Centre Southbank Centre has always been a natural home for musicians who are pushing music forward in new directions. Our three new Associate Artists – pianist Víkingur Ólafsson, violinist Patricia Kopatchinskaja and composer Bryce Dessner – are leading the way in changing the landscape of classical music. Some of this season’s many highlights include a weekend dedicated to the haunting music of Canadian composer Claude Vivier, our global new music festival SoundState, and a setting of the Extinction Rebellion manifesto by British composer Laura Bowler. This is music that really has something to say, and we are strongly focused on widening the audience it speaks to.
