The fifth symphony by a neglected English composer will receive what is only its second performance tonight in Seattle.

It appears the parts went missing after its UK world premiere in 1982. The conductor Adam Stern spent his Covid lockdown creating new parts from Gipps’ manuscript and will now conduct it with the Seattle Philharmonic.

Tickets here.
