Venetian polychoral
motets, Northumbrian bagpipe melodies and
the blues can be heard in Tippett’s most popular
orchestral work, completed, like Britten’s
flamboyant sequence of Rimbaud settings, in
1939. Fanfare No. 5, from Tippett’s vast, humanist
oratorio of 1980–82, The Mask of Time, opens a
concert that ends in the forests of Finland with
Sibelius’s atmospheric Second Symphony.

Tickets £7.50 - £36.
