Next Production
Britten Sinfonia At Lunch October
London, Norwich, Cambridge and Birmingham
06 - 15 October 2010
Shostakovich’s Piano Quintet is an acknowledged masterpiece and at the heart of this opening concert in Britten Sinfonia’s award-winning lunchtime series. Arguable his best known chamber work, it’s a piece hugely admired by two composers also featured in this concert. The celebrated composer James MacMillan is represented by four miniatures each dedicated to important figures in his life, including Brother Walfrid, founder of Celtic football club, and fellow Scottish composers Sir Peter Maxwell Davies and Sally Beamish. Maxwell Davies turns the tables with a brand new work in tribute to James MacMillan, co-commissioned by Britten Sinfonia and Wigmore Hall.
