En vivo, Video: Buscador de críticas de conciertos de música clásica, ópera, ballet y danza | Anthony Parnther

Peter Boyer’s oratorio A Hundred Years On, commemorating the centenary of the 1876 World’s Fair, softens the blow of jingoism, looking to an earlier era of hope and broken promise.

No hard hitters or big beasts in this colourful potpourri from the remarkable Chineke! Orchestra, conducted by Anthony Parnther, but a chance to savour both the unknown and the familiar.

The Chineke! Orchestra always aims at mixing the old and familiar (Beethoven, Ravel) with lesser-known corners of the repertory (Coleridge-Taylor, Walker). Anthony Parnther conducts with Kenneth Thompkins as soloist.
