Hot off their date at the BBC Proms, Britten Sinfonia brings the programme to Summer at Snape.
Young love proclaims itself in Sibelius’s ravishing Rakastava.
Arvo Pärt’s cult concerto for two violins, Tabula rasa, redefines sound, silence and the relationship between them, while Gavin Higgins’ Rough Voices responds to the pandemic with a musical protest, giving voice to the most vulnerable.
The first of Mozart’s last three symphonies is part of a glittering final flourish in his career.
