| Wigmore Hall, London, 36 Wigmore Street, London W1U 2BP, United Kingdom Sunday 30-Jun-13 07:30pm Les liaisons dangereuses This year’s annual Royal College of Music string showcase at the Wigmore Hall is based around a series of “dangerous liaisons” between composers and their muses. So we hear Janáček’s take on Tolstoy, and Prokofiev’s take on Shakespeare. We hear Martinů get to grips with Rossini, and Szymanowski get to grips with Paganini. We find out what came out of Britten’s meeting with Rostropovich, and of Walton’s meeting with Julian Bream. And, of course, we discover the most dangerous liaison of all, in the shape of Tartini’s encounter with the devil himself… Prokofiev, Sergey (1891-1953), Romeo and Juliet Suite no. 1, Op.64bis (arr Borisovsky) | ||

| Cadogan Hall, London, 5 Sloane Terrace, London SW1X 9DQ, United Kingdom Saturday 31-Aug-13 03:00pm Proms Saturday Matinée 5 The focus on Benjamin Britten and his contemporaries continues with the world premiere of his Elegy for strings. Written six years before the Simple Symphony, this eloquent early miniature is contrasted with works by Tippett and Walton in the Proms debut of Camerata Nordica. Violinist Terje Tønnesen directs the Swedish ensemble as well as viola player Catherine Bullock in Lachrymae, arranged for string orchestra by Britten in the last year of his life. Tippett’s Little Music for strings and Walton’s Sonata for strings, another 1970s arrangement of a 1940s work, complete an all-British string ensemble matinee.Tickets 10 - £12. Britten, Benjamin (1913-1976), Elegy for strings (world première) | ||
