About This Event

The Sinfonia of London makes its much-anticipated official concert debut under John Wilson, who re-established the ensemble in 2018. Following on from their award-winning recording, this orchestral 鈥榓rmy of generals鈥� brings with it Korngold鈥檚 stirring, filmic Symphony in F sharp. It鈥檚 part of a musical bird鈥檚-eye view of 19th- and 20th-century Vienna that also includes the overture to Die Fledermaus and Ravel鈥檚 dizzying La valse.
