ARVO PÄRT Adam’s Lament, MOZART Symphony No. 40

Manchester Camerata and conductor Tom Fetherstonhaugh, described by BBC Radio 3 as “a spark to watch”, guide us on an immersive journey through various sonic landscapes. Hannah Roberts, acclaimed Principal Cellist, will open the programme with the breathtaking Prelude from Bach’s spell-binding Cello Suite.

From one solitary performer, the sound world shifts as the combined forces of orchestra and chorus come together for a rare opportunity to hear Arvo Pärt’s Adam’s Lament, a work of deep contemplation.

Profoundly affected by the death of Benjamin Britten in 1976, the respect and admiration Pärt felt towards the composer can be heard in the ethereal beauty of his elegiac orchestral piece, Cantus in Memoriam Benjamin Britten. Mozart’s timeless Symphony No.40, with its passion and urgency, will ignite the orchestra for an electrifying and energetic conclusion.
