Britten Sinfonia
The great Danish composer Carl Nielsen’s fondness for wind instruments relates closely to his love of nature. He was inspired to write his Wind Quintet after hearing Mozart’s Sinfonia Concertante for four winds; likewise, Michael Berkeley turned to past models for his Re-Inventions, based on the famous two-part Inventions of JS Bach.
The programme includes the London première of Uncanny Vale, a new work by Patrick John Jones, the winner of OPUS2014, Britten Sinfonia and Wigmore Hall’s open call for submissions from unpublished UK composers.
Michael Berkeley : Re-Inventions
Ruth Crawford Seeger : Suite for wind quintet
Patrick John Jones : Uncanny Vale
Carl Nielsen : Wind Quintet Op. 43

Sir Harrison Birtwistle in conversation, interspersed by The Message for trumpet, clarinet and side drum and two new additions to his duet series (world premieres)
In Broken Images*
Theseus Game*
Few other composers have played such an integral role in the London Sinfonietta’s growth as Sir Harrison Birtwistle, whose music has always remained defiantly uncategorisable. Once considered the bad boy of British music, Birtwistle’s extraordinary output has transformed him into a contemporary icon. Now in his 80th year, this is a chance to get under the skin of one of music’s most challenging minds as we relive his 21st century commissions and premiere new additions to his series of duets. Join us for the celebration.
