Overview
Reviewers have written of the alchemy that unites LeilaJosefowicz’s duo partnership and John Novacek. The Arts Deskpraised their last appearance at Wigmore Hall in 2015 for its‘huge panache and professional energy’ and for their musicmaking’sdaring spontaneity.
They return with a programme ofworks hallmarked by dark introspection and powerful emotions,including arrangements of profoundly meditative orchestral piecesby Sibelius and Mahler, Kaija Saariaho’s mystical Calices and twocompelling 20th-century takes on the sonata.
This concert is part of the CAVATINA Chamber Music Trust ticket scheme, offering free tickets to those aged 8-25
