Join us for three quickfire premieres from the composers embarking on this year’s edition of Britten Sinfonia’s composer development scheme.
This event marks the start of Toby Anderson, Amy Bryce and Jonathan Woolgar's journey as 2026 Magnum Opus composers. In this short concert we hear their new chamber works, written especially for this evening and performed by Britten Sinfonia musicians, alongside Benjamin Britten's Sinfonietta, written when he was just 18.
This event starts at 6pm as a precursor to Britten Sinfonia's 7:30pm concert, Re-folking Viennese classics with ZRI Quintet.
Britten Sinfonia is a PRS Foundation Talent Development Network Partner supported by PPL. Magnum Opus is also supported by the Vaughan Williams Foundation, Garrick Charitable Trust, the Thriplow Charitable Trust, the Leche Trust.
