Sir Harrison Birtwistle: A Tribute Various

Public

Concert

Approved

‘The purpose of life is to pass the message on’: the London Sinfonietta pays tribute to one of its longest-standing collaborators, Sir Harrison Birtwistle.

This concert spans Birtwistle’s varied output, ranging from a duet written for the London Sinfonietta’s 40th birthday, to the epic and theatrical Verses.

The first piece the composer wrote for the ensemble, Verses requires musicians to walk around the stage in strange and ritual processions.

The second half is performed side-by-side with musicians from the Royal Academy of Music.

The Fields of Sorrow was first composed for amateur musicians, while In Broken Images, co-commissioned by the London Sinfonietta, celebrates the formation of the Italian state.

Tonight’s concert is a showcase of an enormous, varied and mysterious ingenuity – and at its heart it is a celebration of the ensemble’s relationship with the late, great composer.
