Add to my Calendar 12-10-2023 19:30 12-10-2023 21:30 36 Royal Northern Sinfonia: Mozart's Sinfonia Concertante We all love a concerto, putting the spotlight onto a soloist and letting them shine. Equally there’s nothing like a symphony for its epic sweep, showcasing what an orchestra can do. Mozart’s Sinfonia Concertante mixes both genres, putting two soloists on equal footing with the orchestra, and along the way providing one sweet melody after another. Mahler’s dramatic reworking of Schubert’s passionate Death and the Maiden ends the evening. A subversive contemporary take on a much older piece starts the night, combining strings with the sonorous tones of the vibraphone. The Fire Station, Sunderland DD/MM/YYYY
