Overview

Benjamin Britten’s eclectic musical travels around Europe in his landmark Variations on a Theme of Frank Bridge Op. 10 encounter the songs of three British acts – Radiohead, Sting and Pink Floyd. Crossing the Atlantic, the mesmerising strains of Philip Glass’s Third Symphony for 19 solo strings find companionship with the melancholic ecstasy of Nirvana and a gentle glance back to Purcell.
