Sat 9 Aug 2014
Cadogan Hall
The Lapland Chamber Orchestra celebrates the 80th birthdays of two major British composers. Trumpeter Håkan Hardenberger leads the way through the maze-like landscapes of Birtwistle’s trumpet concerto Endless Parade, while Davies is represented by his 1989 Sinfonia. Celebrations of C. P. E. Bach’s 300th anniversary continue with the brooding textures of his Symphony in B minor, while all is languorous sunshine in Honegger’s Pastoral d’été.
