The Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra will give a Janacek-Bruckner concert at the Barbican Centre on November 12.

And that’s it.

Apart from Les Arts Florissants who are accompanyiong a dance event, no major world orchestra will appear at the Barbican Centre in the 2025/6 season.

The London Symphony Orchestra, the BBC SO and the Academy of Ancient Music perform the bulk of the classical co ncerts.

The Barbican is now definitively off the world map.
