I was inspired to go to this concert to see the world premiere of Wynton Marsalis's work, coupled by the chance to see Nicola Benedetti in action.
The concert started with Bernstein before moving on to the Wynton Marsalis premiere. Nicola Benedetti played with passion what must be an extremely difficult piece in four very differing movements. It was great to see her, coupled with the animation of the conductor, James Gaffigan.
The second half was Stravinsky's Symphony in three movements, before Bernstein's Chichester Psalms, featuring the London Symphony Chorus.
