The new intake of Panufnik composers was welcomed to LSO St Luke’s this weekend, with an intensive couple of days of getting to know them. They’ll be working towards a performance of a new piece in March 2019; the current group of composers have their workshop at St Luke’s on March 18th with, as ever, the incomparable François-Xavier Roth in charge.
