Synopsis American composer John Adams is a major focus of the new Great Performers and London Symphony Orchestra concert seasons from February until July 2010 when six of his works are performed. These include the European premiere of City Noir, a co-commission by the LSO and Los Angeles Philharmonic, a new production of his highly acclaimed Broadway style show, I Was Looking at the Ceiling and Then I Saw the Sky, and three other Adams premieres. The John Adams focus continues with his String Quartet which was commissioned by the Juilliard School of Music for the St. Lawrence String Quartet. The work received its world premiere in January 2009 and will be performed for the first time in the UK by the Quartet at LSO St Luke's. Haydn's String Quartet in C major and Ravel's String Quartet in F major will also form the programme.

Bite has established firm relationships with leading international artists and its impressive list of Artistic Associates includes; Deborah Warner, Michael Clark Company, Cheek by Jowl, Fabulous Beast and Afroreggae UK Partnership. Whilst continuing to support the work of established companies, bite seeks to enable young and emerging artists to present work at the Barbican. Recent bite seasons have included music from the favelas of Rio, Shakespeare from Japan, an Icelandic Peer Gynt, puppetry from Canada, traditional dance from Cambodia and cabaret from South London. Bite work extends beyond the 1166-seat Barbican Theatre and the 200-seat Pit into non-traditional spaces, often blurring the boundaries between performer and audience and enabling an even greater number of people to enjoy its programme.
