Summary

Why it's fantastic
Step into the front row for an afternoon of discovery, featuring the very first performance of Erika Fox’s new viola concerto. Between a quirky trip through the Vienna Woods and a UK premiere exploring the physics of space, this programme offers a rare chance to hear music that is still wet on the page.
