Sir Neville Marriner, Till Fellner and the Academy of St Martin in the Fields

Sir Neville Marriner conducts the orchestra on his 92nd birthday in a programme evoking the very essence of the Academy under his direction. An all-Mozart first half opens with the exhilarating, celebratory Haffner Symphony before Austrian pianist Till Fellner takes to the piano for his iconic compatriot’s Piano Concerto No. 22. Closing the concert is Bizet’s Symphony in C, a vibrant showpiece demanding the type of virtuosic playing and shimmering string sound that made the Academy’s name.
