Salonen Leads Bartók, Bjarnason, and Sibelius at Walt Disney Concert Hall

Bartks groundbreaking and eerie Music for Strings, Percussion, and Celesta launches a rich, full program that ends with Sibelius final symphony, the one-movement Seventh, led by Esa-Pekka Salonen who The New Yorker raved was born to conduct Sibelius. In between, a much-anticipated premiere from Danel Bjarnason featuring the highly celebrated pianist Vkingur lafsson, both artists from Icelands wildly creative music scene who were stars of the LA Phils 2017 Reykjavk Festival.
