Sinfonia of Birmingham

Sun 3 May View Venues, Dates & Times

Featuring Michael Seal (conductor), Zoë Beyers (violin) and Peter Dixon (cello).

A welcome return to the Festival for this wonderful orchestra and CBSO Associate Conductor Michael Seal performing, as usual, with eminent soloists. South-African born Leader of the English Symphony Orchestra and Director of the Northern Chamber Orchestra Zoë Beyers has established a reputation as one of the finest violinists of her generation; Peter Dixon has been Principal Cellist with the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra for 35 years.

They bring another passionate programme to fill All Saints Church as only they can - Dvorák’s dramatic musical characterization of the relationship between Othello and Desdemona; Brahms’s final work for orchestra, composed as a gesture of reconciliation toward his old friend, the violinist Joseph Joachim, after a personal rift had separated them; and Malcolm Arnold’s emotional Fifth Symphony, filled with memories of friends who all died young, allowing us a chance for the Festival to mark the twentieth anniversary of the composer’s death.

Programme includes Dvořák's Othello Overture, Op. 93; Brahms' Double Concerto for Violin & Cello in A minor, Op. 102 & Arnold's Symphony No.5, Op. 74
