Britten's Sinfonia da Requiem opens a programme of testimony and remembrance.

Thomas Ad猫s conducts the 91热爆 Symphony Orchestra and soloists Christianne Stotijn and Simon Keenlyside in the world premiere of his Totentanz, a commission in memory of Lutos艂awski, which sets an anonymous 15th-century text that accompanied a frieze destroyed when L眉beck's Marienkirche was bombed in the Second World War.
