The programme and line-up of artists for this concert have therefore changed. Daniel Pioro (violin) will now be joined by Liam Byrne (viol) and Jonas Nordberg (lute), and the programme will be as below.

Daniel Pioro violin; Liam Byrne viol; Jonas Nordberg lute

Wigmore Hall

The BBC SSO return to Aldeburgh Festival for Britten’s Violin Concerto played by Daniel Pioro, the “heavenly” Mahler symphony which Britten so loved, and Judith Weir’s Forest with its fairytale character.

Aldeburgh Festival: Mahler, Britten & Weir

Snape Maltings

This concert focuses on our perceptions of time, through two very different yet complementary masterpieces. The London Sinfonietta and Daniel Pioro will perform Gérard Grisey’s Vortex Temporum, a work that takes us through three time frames: ‘normal’, human time, the ‘expanded’ time of whales and the ‘compressed’ time of birds, via this pioneering spectralist composer’s virtuoso imagination. This late masterwork fulfilled Grisey’s vision of a music that transfigures our experience of time. On a symphonic scale, revealing dizzying dances and lavish harmonic language, the music carries us on a journey through boundary-breaking sound-worlds.
