Los Angeles Philharmonic
Gustavo Dudamel conductor
Sergio Tiempo piano


Gustavo Dudamel’s name is a byword for innovation and energy, just as the LA Philharmonic is renowned for its virtuosity and flair. And they start their London residency the way they intend to go on: giving a jolt of electricity to New World classics by Ginastera and Copland, and sharing the colour and optimism of John Williams and Andrew Norman, composers aglow with Californian sunshine.


John Williams : Soundings
