Los Angeles Philharmonic - Salonen Leads Smith and Sibelius

Esa-Pekka Salonen returns to conduct the Los Angeles Philharmonic in a program featuring two distinct voices. The afternoon includes the orchestral premiere of a new work by Sarah Kirkland Snider, a composer known for her evocative and emotionally resonant pieces. This is paired with Sibelius's Symphony No. 5, a cornerstone of the repertoire, showcasing his distinctive Nordic soundscapes. This Los Angeles Philharmonic concert takes place on Sunday, January 31, 2027, at Walt Disney Concert Hall. The matinee setting offers a chance to hear both a contemporary premiere and a symphonic classic in the hall's acoustically rich environment, suitable for those who appreciate both established and emerging classical compositions.
