“A Call To Action, Disguised As A Symphony”

At the Barbican Centre in early May, the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra (RPO), the City of London Choir and London Voices premiered a 49-minute piece titled “Lim Cosmic Rhapsody.” Their recording of the piece, which featured pianist Jean-Yves Thibaudet, had just been released on Decca Classics, and the performance marked the first outing for score, published by Wise Music Group. There was a healthy turnout in the auditorium, the audience perhaps having heard about the project through BBC local radio, Classic FM, GB News, BBC Music Magazine or the trade mag Classical Music.
