Closing our week of music from the ѿý Symphony Orchestra and the ѿý Singers, we hear two concerts given recently in Shanghai and in London. First we have a choral concert given at St Paul’s, Knightsbridge by the ѿý Singers conducted by Bart van Reyn. The concert celebrates the 100th birthday of British conductor and composer Stephen Wilkinson, and features his works alongside those of composers with whom he enjoyed a close working relationship, such as John McCabe and Hans Gal.
We end the week as we began, at the Shanghai Symphony Orchestra Hall, with the ѿý Symphony Orchestra and Sir Andrew Davis on their recent tour to China. They perform music by Elizabeth Maconchy, Benjamin Britten, Stravinsky and Raymond Yiu as well as arias by Saint-Saens, Donizetti and Offenbach with mezzo-soprano Catherine Wynn-Rogers.
