Add to my Calendar 23-03-2019 20:00 23-03-2019 22:00 36 Symphony of Spring This concert of English music features two UK premieres commissioned by the BBC Concert Orchestra for our soloist, violinist Charles Mutter: Peter Cowdrey’s witty and irreverent Bremania, and the mercurial Concerto in One Act for violin and orchestra by Guy Barker, a piece influenced by the rhythms and sensibilities of Argentinian Tango. Bremania and the Concerto are set against a context of two English masterpieces of the 20thcentury: Holst’s elemental Egdon Heath based on Hardy’s Return of the Native, and the sublime and radiant Fifth Symphony by Vaughan Williams, which he completed in 1943.
