The studio album Promises by Floating Points, legendary saxophonist Pharoah Sanders and the LSO is released to great critical acclaim, making the shortlist for the Mercury Prize.

In our second World Tour we visit the Asia and Australia, conducted by István Kertész and Colin Davis. The LSO and Sir Simon Rattle mark Beethoven’s 250th anniversary year with performances of Christ on the Mount of Olives and Symphony No 9. An Extraordinary General Meeting is held at which the Orchestra agrees that ‘no further symphony concerts be given until the termination of the war’ due to financial difficulties. Sunday League Concerts at the Palladium continue as these are paid for by a promoter.Right now lots of us are looking at how to make learning fun at home. Books are a way that we like to ignite our daughter’s interest in topics. If it’s something she’s interested in then we find ways to bring about fun learning through play through those interests. Subtitle: Listen While You Learn About the Instruments, the Music and the Composers Who Wrote the Music! One day, two brothers discover a magical animal kingdom behind their bookcase. They are greeted by the royal lion with his shaggy mane; ask for directions from an old lonely turtle; take a ride on some lumbering elephants; topple a skeleton of dinosaur bones; and swim among a school of shimmering fish. If only they could take them all home... We win a Royal Philharmonic Society Award and become the first orchestra to receive this award for a second time.

We receive the first ever Evening Standard Classical Music Award for ‘Outstanding Ensemble Performance’. I think this book would be a great addition to any home library. It’s not only engaging to look through but provides the real key to music appreciation–the chance to listen to great music! More Homeschool Fine Arts Resources We become the first British orchestra to visit the United States, (and narrowly avoid travelling on the Titanic due to a last minute change of schedule). Artistic Pursuits for Homeschooling High School– ARTistic Pursuits High School Level is a two book art appreciation and art skills course for high schoolers.

Each grade level book contains a music section. The idea is that your child would become familiar with basic musical concepts as part of their education. And of course, a key component of that is the orchestra. We record Concerto! with Michael Tilson Thomas – a major TV series made for Channel 4 with Dudley Moore, which wins an Emmy Award. Exciting update for 2021. The Magic Flute is an exceptional addition to the collection and just as wonderful as the rest. Perfect if you’re looking for a gift for a book lover. After reading the book we played the full length pieces of some of the ones Floss really enjoyed. She also wanted to learn about some of the instruments. The London Philharmonia Orchestra have a great series on YouTube that give you a wonderful introduction to different instruments. We looked at a few – Floss’ favourite was the flute. They are a great series to refer to when looking at instruments. We also used some mini models of instrument s too. These are so cute and Floss enjoys using them to form Orchestras and bands with her toys.
