A relaxed, early-evening concert

The mood is relaxed in this early-evening concert, with introductions from the conductor and LSO musicians to a poignant masterpiece.

Ralph Vaughan Williams’ Symphony No 5 reaches for hope in the midst of war. This sophisticated, original work deeply moved audiences who heard it at its 1943 premiere. Its bittersweet melodies and transcendent climax seem to offer listeners a vision of future peace.
