Schoenberg Verklärte Nacht
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 finest composers Adam Walacinski. 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.
