London Mozart Players - Best of British
A celebration of British music ranging from the Edwardian era to present day
Add to my Calendar 16-09-2022 19:30 16-09-2022 21:30 36 London Mozart Players - Best of British Britain was once insulted with the rather unflattering nickname of ‘das Land ohne Musik’, or ‘the country without music’ by 19th century Germany. But with a home-grown musical tradition of its own and a distinctive set of British composers emerging in the 20th century, we’d like to think this name-calling deserves some challenging. Tonight, we’re celebrating a range of musical British icons in an iconic London location. With a programme that includes Holst’s St Paul’s Suite, which takes inspiration from English folk songs, Elgar’s Elegy and Judith Bingham’s Clarinet Concert which we premiered only this year, we’re celebrating the Best of British. Jonathan Leibovitz, recently named as a Rising Star Artist by Classic FM, joins us as the soloist for this concert. St Martin-in-the-Fields, London DD/MM/YYYYDetails
