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 series begins with the New York Philharmonic, music director Alan Gilbert and baritone Thomas Hampson performing The Wound-Dresser from 1989, Adams's setting of Walt Whitman's poem which Whitman wrote during the American Civil War. The programme also includes Haydn's Symphony No 49 'La Passione', Schubert's Symphony No 8 ‘Unfinished’ and Berg's Three Orchestral Pieces.

Whilst continuing to support the work of established companies, bite seeks to enable young and emerging artists to present work at the Barbican.
