James MacMillan: London Symphony Orchestra feature
(November 2009)
James MacMillan’s 50th birthday celebrations continue with the London Symphony Orchestra presenting an Artist Portrait this season.Nicola Benedetti provided an upbeat in July with an LSO St Luke’s performance of From Ayrshire as part of the City of London Festival, the work’s UK concert premiere. The main season includes MacMillan’s trumpet concerto Epiclesis (1 November) and Colin Davis conducting a second LSO performance of St John Passion (28 February), following the premiere and CD release on LSO Live last year. The portrait culminates in the world premiere of a new violin concerto for Vadim Repin conducted by Valery Gergiev (12 May).
Watch a video interview with MacMillan about the LSO Artist Portrait.
MacMillan's newest choral work is an a cappella setting of the Miserere, commissioned by the Flanders Festival in Antwerp and premiered by The Sixteen conducted by Harry Christophers in August. A newly updated guide to MacMillan’s choral music by Paul Spicer, examining 58 works from a practical perspective, can be downloaded from our website: visit http://www.boosey.com/downloads/MacMillanChoralPDF09finalWEB.pdf.
MacMillan has recently completed a third piano concerto to be premiered by the Minnesota Orchestra in its 2010/11 season with soloist Jean-Yves Thibaudet.
