Perfect percussionist Dame Evelyn Glennie and the Bristol Ensemble at Colston HallAlexandra Hamilton-Ayres, 15th March
Beethoven did not take precedence in this concert, but he stole the title. As part of the “Brilliant Beethoven” concert series, the Bristol Ensemble performed the Seventh Symphony of the well-known composer. It was programmed at the end of the evening alongside Debussy, Vivaldi and current composer Alexis Alrich. The theme connecting the different works was rhythm.
