This event marks the start of Toby Anderson, Amy Bryce and Jonathan Woolgar's journey as 2026 Magnum Opus composers. In this short concert we hear their new chamber works, written especially for this evening and performed by Britten Sinfonia musicians, alongside Benjamin Britten's Sinfonietta, written when he was just 18.

Magnum Opus 2026 Launch Concert

Milton Court Concert Hall

Experience a unique musical collaboration as sarod virtuoso Amjad Ali Khan reconnects with the Britten Sinfonia, one of the UK's premier chamber orchestras. This event features the exceptional leadership of violinist Jacqueline Shave and the masterful conducting of David Murphy. The performance will explore the rich tapestry of Indian classical music, presenting 15th Century Ragas such as Raga Darbari and Raga Mia Ki Malhar, arranged by David Murphy. Additionally, the UK première of "Shringar: The Adornment," arranged for sarod and chamber ensemble, promises to be a highlight. This piece exemplifies the ongoing creative relationship between Amjad Ali Khan and the Britten Sinfonia, blending traditional Indian sounds with contemporary orchestral arrangements. The concert is a testament to the enduring and evolving dialogue between Eastern and Western musical traditions, offering a profound and immersive auditory experience.
