For the final concert in our lunchtime series, Britten Sinfonia draws on a programme devised by John Woolrich. Woolrich’s evocative Quiddities – written for Nicholas Daniel and Britten Sinfonia in 2005 – is set alongside a Walacinski’s oboe and string trio Little Autumn Music, a small romantic piece written in the aleatoric technique. Chacony is perhaps the best known of Britten’s Purcell editions, and there is also a chance to hear Schoenberg’s beautiful Verklärte Nacht at its most transparent and delicate in the original string sextet version.

Please note – change to previously advertised programme.
