Side-by-side with Sinfonia Smith Square 1

With members of Sinfonia Smith Square

John McCabe Six-minute Symphony
Luciano Berio Folksongs
Maurice Ravel Le Tombeau de Couperin

St John’s Waterloo, London SE1 8TY

Grab a free glass of wine and break your commute with the first of two concerts alongside players from Sinfonia Smith Square marking some of this year’s many composer anniversaries. McCabe’s granite-hewn and imposing symphony for strings packs a moving and visceral punch despite its brevity; Berio’s Folksongs are ravishing in their jewel-like precision, whilst Ravel’s exquisite memorial to an earlier age is refinement itself. Is there a better way to avoid the rush hour?
