Edward Gardner, Principal Conductor

Patricia Kopatchinskaja, violin

“London’s most adventurous and dynamic mainstream orchestra.” The Times (U.K.)

“It is the character of a great virtuoso to make the instrument become an extension of the player. Kopatchinskaja, though, is the violin. She plays in a state of astonishment and the violin becomes her.” – Mark Swed, Los Angeles Times

Uniquely groundbreaking and exhilarating to watch, the London Philharmonic Orchestra (LPO) has been recognized as one of the world’s great orchestras since its founding in 1932. Heard by millions on the soundtracks for The Lord of the Rings and other films, the ensemble performs a rare Santa Barbara concert with violinist Patricia Kopatchinskaja. Known for her fearless interpretations of both the established classical repertoire and avant-garde compositions, she has been a trusted partner of the LPO for two decades. In this concert featuring acclaimed conductor Edward Gardner, the orchestra will reveal the depths of feeling contained in one of the 20th century’s most ambitious concertos.
