Overview
Set sail on a mesmerizing musical voyage as Lawrence Power leads a dynamic Collegium ensemble through the UK premiere of Garth Knox’s Ancient Mariner–inspired Viola Concerto, alongside Matthew Locke’s maritime overture, Mozart’s moonlit Serenata Notturno and Elizabeth Machonchy’s fiery double string symphony. Tickets from £20.Under the bow of Artist in Residence Lawrence Power, a handpicked ensemble of Europe’s finest young string players charts a course of luminous theatricality and dazzling energy. The programme begins with Matthew Locke’s Curtain Tune from The Tempest, its undulating harmonies evoking a gentle sea breeze, before unveiling the UK premiere of Garth Knox’s Viola Concerto—a dramatic narrative in which the ensemble itself becomes the vessel carrying the soloist through stormy sonorities. After the interval, Mozart’s sublime Serenata Notturno bathes the hall in moonlit calm, setting the stage for Elizabeth Machonchy’s sizzling symphony for double string orchestra, a finale of breathtaking vitality and inventive interplay. Each movement unfolds like a chapter in an epic maritime saga, promising an unforgettable evening of colour, drama and profound musical storytelling.
