After Britten

Event date & time: 02.10.2019 в 19:00, Wednesday

Conductor

Alexander Walker

Benjamin Britten loved Russia, Russian Music and had close working relationship with many Russian musicians, notably Rostropovich. Britten visited Russia many times and as Britten took Russian to his heart, so Russian audiences took Britten to theirs. Consequently, much of his music is known and loved by Russian audiences. In the 21st Century, there has been an explosion of compositional talent in Britain and this is an opportunity for Moscow to find out if it can love this music too.
