About this concert
Become Ocean: Dalia Stasevska conducts John Luther Adams’s 21st century cult classic.
Listening, we become ocean…engulfed in sound, immersed in nature, transformed by the depth and wonder of elements that might (or might not) be beyond our control. Dalia Stasevska conducts one of the defining masterpieces of our century: John Luther Adams’s huge, haunting Become Ocean.
'It may be the loveliest apocalypse in musical history' declared Alex Ross, who admitted that he was left “'eeling' by John Luther Adams’s Become Ocean after its premiere in 2013. Since then, it’s gone global: a vast, luminous expanse of music with a troubling but hopeful message about our relationship with nature. For the BBC Symphony Orchestra’s principal guest conductor Dalia Stasevska – an artist who believes that music is at 'the core of humanity' – it’s a story that simply has to be told.

BBC Symphony Orchestra Biography
The BBC Symphony Orchestra has been at the heart of British musical life since it was founded in 1930. It plays a central role in the BBC Proms at the Royal Albert Hall, performing at the First and Last Nights, as well as throughout each Proms season. The BBC SO performs an annual season of concerts at the Barbican in London, where it is Associate Orchestra. Its commitment to contemporary music is demonstrated by a range of premieres each season, as well as Total Immersion days devoted to specific composers or themes.
The vast majority of the BBC SO’s performances are broadcast on BBC Radio 3 and a number of studio recordings each season are free to attend. These often feature up-and-coming talent, including members of BBC Radio 3’s New Generation Artists scheme. All broadcasts are available for 30 days on BBC Sounds and the BBC SO can also be seen on BBC TV and BBC iPlayer, and heard on the BBC’s online archive, Experience Classical. The BBC Symphony Orchestra and Chorus – alongside the BBC Concert Orchestra, BBC Singers and BBC Proms – also offer innovative education and community activities and take a lead role in the BBC Ten Pieces and BBC Young Composer programme.
