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. John Adams himself conducts two concerts with the London Symphony Orchestra. The first includes the UK premiere of the revised version of Adams’s Doctor Atomic Symphony inspired by his acclaimed opera, Britten’s Sea Interludes from Peter Grimes and Sibelius’s Symphony No 6.
