Who’s on stage
Royal Northern Sinfonia plus guest conductor Nil Venditti – we loved working with her so much last year we brought her back for more!

What they’re playing
With four pieces of music on tonight’s programme, there’s something to please the most varied musical tastes. The most famous is Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s Clarinet Concerto, but there’s also music from Ludwig van Beethoven and Igor Stravinsky too.

What's happening in the music
Mozart’s Clarinet concerto is an optimistic and charming piece of music. The slow middle section, which is its most famous, is pretty much musical perfection. You might see it as purely serene and beautiful, but maybe there’s a little nostalgia and melancholy there too? Any slight sadness is erased by the intense rhythmic energy of Stravinsky’s Dances Concertantes though.

A need for romance
Also on the programme is Fazil Say’s Chamber Symphony. It’s entirely inspired by Turkish music, where the composer is from. The composer says that it’s about the complexities of modern-day Turkey. It’s middle section is calm and quiet, and as Fazil says, “underlines the need for romanticism in our age”. The piece finishes with a fast-paced dance.
