Britten Sinfonia at Lunch - March 2009

Thu 12 Mar 2009 1:00pm at Town Hall

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 new work from one of Poland’s hottest young composers Pawel Mykietyn. 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.
