One of the planet’s greatest violinists, Anthony Marwood, returns to ANAM to lead an exceptional program for strings.
- The concert includes one of the world’s favourite pieces of classical music, Vaughan Williams’ The Lark Ascending
- Soviet composer Raskatov’s bitter-sweet homage to Mozart is a spellbinding delight, and a complement to Stravinsky’s tribute to Tchaikovsky – the divertimento drawn from his ballet score The Fairy’s Kiss
- If you’re not familiar with the Two pieces for string octet by the young Shostakovich – he wrote them in his teens – they are an amazing discovery in their dramatic contrast of wistfulness and manic energy
