Bartok Contrasts


We start our new series of lunchtime concerts at Birmingham enjoying the acoustic of the newly refurbished Town Hall. Our co-leader, Thomas Gould, Joy Farrall and Huw Watkins perform a programme of twentieth century works, featuring a piece by Michael Zev Gordon that was premièred by Britten Sinfonia last season. Huw Watkins doubles as performer and composer with a piece titled 'Dream'. Bartok's chamber work Contrasts, commissioned and originally performed by Benny Goodman and Szigeti, is a rhythmically demanding and exhilarating end to the concert.
