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

In a frenetic world where there never seems time 'to stop and stare', this evening of song celebrates the art of contemplation and what it means to be alive. Drawing inspiration from the poetry of the Romantics to the present day the programme will reflect 'On Man, On Nature and On Human Life'.
