Programme

MAGNIFICENT | GRACEFUL | TRANSFORMATORY

Marrying unmistakeable Britten with flavours of Copland and hints of jazz, Britten’s American Overture launches this evening conducted by the acclaimed Tomas Djupsjöbacka, before saxophone sensation Steven Banks joins ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ NOW for the UK premiere of Joan Towers’ Love Letters - whilst loss and sadness exude, it is grace and delicacy that flow endlessly in this dedication to her late husband.

To celebrate 100 years since his death, we experience Weber through the eyes of Hindemith as we turn to the Symphonic Metamorphosis on Themes by Weber, in which Hindemith takes some of Weber’s most obscure themes and, whilst directly quoting the music, radically changes everything around them, from the harmony and accompanying secondary melodies to the melodic extensions and orchestrations. But first, a performance of Weber’s own quirky and charming Second Symphony.
