Finzi’s Dies Natalis sets texts by 17th century philosopher Thomas Traherne about the joy and innocence of a baby’s view of the world. By contrast, Richard Blackford’s new piece, commissioned by Britten Sinfonia, sets powerfully moving poems of love, longing and fury by Afghan writer Nadia Anjuman, whose courageous life was tragically cut short when she was killed, aged 25, by her husband.

Britten Sinfonia performs beautifully intimate pieces for strings by Elgar and Dobrinka Tabakova, and we’re treated to the premiere of a new work by the ‘anarchic and cartoonishly fun’ (BBC Radio 3) composer Ryan Latimer.
