One century ago, a musician was born
who did more to encapsulate the
geographical and linguistic qualities of
England than any other composer had
managed before or has since. In his
haunting Serenade for Tenor, Horn
and Strings, Benjamin Britten set poetry
by Blake, Tennyson and Cotton with
a intensity, penetration and unity of
atmosphere that hadn’t been heard
before. We hear the Serenade here
alongside the second of Mozart’s carefree
‘Salzburg’ Divertimenti and his frantic,
eerie but compelling Symphony No.40.
With a post-concert ‘Northern Sinfonia
Spotlight’.
Buses from Alnwick and Hexham.
Tickets: £10-£33.
