Britten Sinfonia presents Britten in America

A programme of music from both sides of the Atlantic that delves into the subtle and rich sonorities of strings and voice. This concert offers a rare opportunity to hear celebrated tenor, Mark Padmore paired with the exuberant and imaginative violinist Pekka Kuusisto in a new work by Nico Muhly, composer for recent film The Reader. A protégé of Philip Glass, Nico Muhly is gaining a reputation as being one of the most impressive innovators of new music, effortlessly crossing the boundaries between classical and pop.

In Conversation – FREE pre-concert talk with directors Pekka Kuusisto and Mark Padmore, chaired by David Francis, Dartington’s Director of the Arts. The talk starts at 1.45pm in the Great Hall and is open to all concert ticket holders.
