Britten Sinfonia
Imogen Whitehead · trumpet
For 30 years, Britten Sinfonia has been redefining what a chamber orchestra can be. For their debut at JAM on the Marsh, they present a thrilling programme that weaves together two festival threads — Mealor @50 and La Belle Époque — while marking three major composer anniversaries: the 100th of Eric Satie’s death, Jonathan Dove’s 65th birthday and Paul Mealor’s 50th. Mealor’s Symphony No.2, written after a visit to the Canadian Rockies, reveals the composer at his creative best, extracting extraordinary colour from strings, piano, and percussion.
