About this concert

Britten Sinfonia from washmedia on Vimeo.

Czech composer Leos Janácek is known for his rhythmic and bold compositional style. In this concert we encounter a soft side to his music in his Concertino which depicts scenes from nature.

This concert has been programmed by acclaimed composer Julian Philips and will also feature the première of a new work by him that takes its influence from Janácek’s Concertino, as well as Brahm’s autumnal Clarinet Trio.

‘Philips is not afraid of melody or lyrical expression, and he handles comedy with a deft touch’ The Evening Standard

Julian Philips’ new work is co-commissioned by Britten Sinfonia and Wigmore Hall with the generous support of John Stephens OBE.
