Ever versatile and virtuosic, the
North East’s very own Bradley
Creswick directs Northern
Sinfonia in this concert of
favourites for strings and solo violin.
Included are Vivaldi’s four most
famous concertos and heart-rending
autumn-coloured works by Ungar
and Albinoni. Spring will certainly
be the prevailing mood, though, in
a concert that promises energy in
spades.

Northern Sinfonia: Bradley Creswick's blazing fiddle

Jane Shuttleworth, 3rd May

As their contribution to The Sage Gateshead’s weekend-long “Fiddles on Fire” festival, Northern Sinfonia presented a selection of solo violin and string music that artfully blurred the distinctions between musical periods and genres, putting the emphasis firmly on the instrument itself, and on the spirited playing of their leader, Bradley Creswick.
