About this event

Bennett’s Third Symphony is, unlike his earlier more extrovert works, mostly thoughtful and lyrical in nature. His dramatic cantata Spells sets a sequence of haunting invocations by Kathleen Raine whilst Anniversaries celebrates the 60th birthdays of both the ±«Óãtv and composer Irwin Bazelon. The 1972 film Lady Caroline Lamb was responsible for one of Bennett’s loveliest scores.
