City of London Sinfonia and The Holst Singers present
Britons and the Baltics
Stephen Layton’s first London concert as Artistic Director and Principal Conductor of City of London Sinfonia combines the string and vocal music by Benjamin Britten with the atmospheric sound worlds of Baltic composers Arvo Pärt and Eriks Esenvalds. The programme ends with Constant Lambert’s most popular work, The Rio Grande – in its day a remarkable experiment in weaving jazz idioms into British concert music.
