According to the Guardian, the BBC Symphony Orchestra and Chorus, led by Dalia Stasevska, performed the London premiere of Caroline Shaw's 'The Listeners' at the Barbican. The 35-minute work, inspired by the Voyager Golden Record, incorporates poetry by Whitman, Tennyson, and Yesenia Montilla. Guardian critic Erica Jeal described the piece as thought-provoking yet underdeveloped. The concert also featured a performance of Samuel Barber's Violin Concerto by soloist Randall Goosby and Borys Lyatoshynsky's tone poem 'Grazhyna'.
