ACROSS GENERATIONS: BIRTWISTLE’S SILBURY AIR

London Sinfonietta places two British works commissioned decades apart alongside new music from Polish composers in a concert about landscape and time.

The programme pairs Harrison Birtwistle’s Silbury Air and Charlotte Bray’s Reflections in Time with Andrzej Ojczenasz’s Primo: spatia continua and Zygmunt Krauze’s Concertino for Piano and Orchestra. The official programme bills pianist Tomoki Kitamura, conductor Geoffrey Paterson and London Sinfonietta. Two premieres are identified: Ojczenasz’s world premiere and Krauze’s UK premiere.
