Details

Two off-beat love stories from composers who have delighted in subverting musical conventions. Beethoven takes its texts from the great composer's letters to his Immortal Beloved, a last (failed) chance for love that Barry describes as 'dramatic, cinematic, poignant'. In the Alps tells the tale of a young girl, with a beautiful voice and the sole survivor of a plane crash who has grown up in the mountains with goats, and the attempts of the trumpeter from a local band to find her. Quirky, eccentric and unmissable. London Sinfonietta website.
