We are deeply saddened to hear that Sir Andrew Davis has died. Past Chief Conductor and Conductor Laureate of the BBC SO, and President of the BBC Symphony Chorus. A vital force in British music for many decades and a friend to us all. He will be greatly missed.

Huge thanks to @jaderbignamini, Elizabeth Watts & the BBC Symphony Chorus who joined us for tonight’s evening of music by Pépin, Poulenc & Berlioz @barbicancentre

We are very sorry to hear that Péter Eötvös has died. We had a long and fruitful relationship with the great Hungarian composer and conductor, Principal Guest Conductor of the BBC SO from 1985-1988. His concerts with the BBC SO were always special and he will be sadly missed.
