Performer: Lawrence Power

Alessio Bax's inaugural London Festival of Chamber Music sets off with a spring in its step.

After an indifferent start, the Philharmonia finally come to life in the last movement of Sibelius’ First Symphony. Lawrence Power shows his viola class.

The Canadian composer talks about her working method, her interest in vocality, her guitar concerto for Sean Shibe and the Dunedin Consort, and whether she’s still trying to make audiences cry.

The British viola player on why there's so much more to Brahms than just his great Romantic voice.
