An evening of music that bridges centuries and styles, celebrating two distinctive voices.From opening Glastonbury festival to working in care homes with people living with dementia, Manchester Camerata is one of the UK’s most adventurous and boundary-pushing orchestras. They presents a concert that shines a light on two distinct composers, centuries apart.
We begin with ‘Lanolin’ by Anna Meredith, a composer known for her bold, imaginative approach to sound. This piece gently draws you in with its rich textures and shifting tones – a quiet invitation to listen differently.
Beethoven’s String Trio in D is a work full of energy, known for its technical challenges and invention. It’s a piece that showcases Beethoven’s early brilliance and his instinct to challenge musical norms.
Meredith’s ‘Scrying’ brings a change of pace – rhythmic, playful, and full of surprises. Merging elements of contemporary classical with electronica and experimental rock, it’s a vivid example of her innovative style.
The evening ends with Beethoven’s Septet, a charming and elegant work that was an instant hit in its time. Over two centuries later, it still feels fresh, full of warmth, and wonderfully alive.
