The concert opens with Greig’s Holberg Suite and closes with Haydn’s ‘Sturm und Drang’ style Symphony No. 44 ‘Trauer’.

The LMP plans to deliver an exciting programme of concerts and outreach work, creating new audiences for classical music and inspiring young people. Their 2019-2020 season will include school concerts, ‘side-by-side performances’ with young musicians, visits to nursery schools and libraries, and concerts at the Opus. There will also be a community performance of the multi-faith oratorio by Sussex composer Polo Piatti.

LMP executive director Julia Desbruslais said: “This is an exciting venture for the orchestra and we are very much looking forward to sharing our passion for music with our new friends on the south coast.”

Composer Polo Piatti said: “The LMP’s residency is a dream come true, promising to become not only a great performance partnership for this iconic venue, but also a wonderful opportunity for local artistes and young musicians to perform alongside these world-class musicians.”

This residency is supported by the Arts Council Great Britain, the Magdalen and Lasher Educational Foundation, Foyle Foundation, the Isabel Blackman Foundation and the Hastings Arts and Culture Scheme.
