A thrilling musical journey through high seas, wild landscapes, and imagined worlds

Epic stories. Bold sounds. Live orchestral adventure.

City of London Sinfonia launches its New Frontiers season with Explorers, a thrilling musical journey through high seas, wild landscapes, and imagined worlds.

This cinematic concert features music from Jurassic Park, Moana, Master and Commander, and Indiana Jones: soundtracks that evoke survival, mythology, and the power of discovery. From shipwrecked robots to Antarctic explorers, from spirit deer in Huichol folklore to a Polynesian demigod, Explorers blends breathtaking adventures with bold musical imagination.

Experience the sweeping drama of Rimsky-Korsakov’s Sheherazade, inspired by ancient tales and the composer’s visions of deep blue seas. Hear Hannah Kendall’s Tuxedo, a fierce response to Basquiat’s paintings and the legacy of colonial exploration.

CLS’s players are more than performers, they’re musical storytellers, creating and collaborating to push orchestral music beyond the expected.

Adventurous, cinematic, and joyously alive, join us for an orchestral music concert, reimagined.
