Conductor Ivor Bolton, originally from near Manchester, brings his historically informed approach to the classical symphony orchestra, promising a performance with unique impact.

Chamber music by an overlooked Hungarian composer, Ernő Dohnányi, whose romantic style contrasted with contemporaries Bartók and Kodály. His inventive Piano Quintet and Sextet, alongside Carl Reinecke's uniquely scored Trio, are discoveries. Dohnányi, a celebrated pianist and conductor, composed with a Brahmsian influence, though his later Sextet expands beyond, reflecting the broad stylistic landscape of the 1930s. Concert duration: ~110 minutes (including intermission).
This anniversary program invites you to a Hindemith-style birthday celebration: with music, unusual and rich, playful and provocative, from mature and young wild days - in any case by Hindemith. The modernist pioneer from Hanau turned away from the cult of genius and the confessional nature of romanticism in favor of a "new objectivity," which included parodistic features, quotations, and playing with popular genres. Four sonatas for viola, oboe, and cello—with, without, or even just for piano—as well as an unconventional serenade, can be experienced from Hindemith's rich oeuvre. Music for the chamber at its best!
