We are pleased to announce three characteristically bold events in the Barbican Centre’s autumn-winter series. Later in 2022 we will continue our musical exploration with Anoushka Shankar and Manu Delago, give a gorgeous Christmas recital with Polyphony, and showcase the work of our talent development scheme for composers.
