Darren Bloom conducts four new works by Anselm McDonnell, Clare Elton, Ryan Latimer and Ruaidhrí Mannion in this LSO Soundhub Showcase by the members of the London Symphony Orchestra and friends, recorded live at LSO St Luke's on 13 February 2021 in COVID-secure conditions.

Northern Ireland's parade culture, relationships and gatherings, murder ballads, the contour of waves on a quiet shore … The inspirations behind tonight's music are as varied as the experiences and voices of their creators.

Expect raw energy and utter tranquillity, exhilaration and pathos, and come with the curiosity to experience much more in between. This is never-before-heard music from composers of the here and now – how to listen and respond, only you can say.

These new works were conceived in October 2019 by composers on Phase I of LSO Discovery's Soundhub scheme, initially imagined for a first performance in June 2020. After 15 unprecedented months of development, change and discovery, we're delighted to share this music.
