Our annual Family
Music Days in Cambridge and Norwich have been hugely popular with audiences
over the past few years. With instrument-building and percussion workshops,
as well as plenty of opportunities to hear Britten Sinfonia perform, these
action-packed days are not to be missed. Booking for the 2008 Family Music
Days will open in July with more details to follow shortly.

Britten Nocturne*
Fêted British tenor Mark Padmore joins Britten Sinfonia in a ravishing
programme exploring the theme of night in this dramatically-treated performance
directed by Katie Mitchell. Fresh from his acclaimed realisation of Bach’s
St John Passion, Mark Padmore performs this unique, unconducted interpretation
of Britten’s Nocturne, while also beguiling us with two gems of
arias from Handel’s Samson, intensely evocative settings of Milton’s
glorious poetry, including the poignant meditation on Samson’s blindness,
‘Total Eclipse’. Exceptionally talented violist Maxim Rysanov
takes the leading role in Britten’s interpretation of Dowland’s
Lachrymae and John Woolrich’s Ulysses Awakes, a moving reworking
of Monteverdi.
‘... one
achingly beautiful stanza succeeds the other, and the purity of Padmore's
delivery here is a thing of wonder.’
