About this Event
Another Music Festival brings together an extraordinary ensemble of international artists – many of them migrants – to celebrate the rich legacy of composers who have lived or continue to live in exile. From historical giants – Chopin, Hindemith, Stravinsky, Enescu, Bartók to neglected composers including Ukrainian composer Theodore Akimenko, the three-day festival offers a journey through music shaped by migration.
Importantly, the programme features works composed both before and after emigration, highlighting the continuity and evolution of the composer’s artistic voice. Highlights will include premieres of Alexey Kurbatov’s Quartet, Boris Filanovsky’s Supremus 3 and two UK premieres: Stephania Turkevych’s Sonata for Violin and Piano and Leonid Desyatnikov’s Leaden Echo.

St John’s Waterloo is a historic 1824 Grade II* church that reopened in October 2022 after a major restoration by Eric Parry Architects. It hosts and produces a year-round programme of arts and culture, including the annual Waterloo Festival, the London Chamber Music Society’s concert series and is co-home to the academy-orchestra Sinfonia Smith Square. In the past few years, St John's welcomed renowned international musicians, including Angela Hewitt, Steven Osborne and Doric String Quartet, as well as played host to professional and amateur orchestras. Through its charity The Bridge At Waterloo, it runs an ever-growing community programme and the award-winning churchyard gardens. In partnership with prominent human rights organisations and through visual arts and literature, St John’s is also actively engaged with social justice, addressing issues such as press freedom, censorship, homelessness and climate change. www.stjohnswaterloo.org/arts | @stjohnswaterlooarts
