Stealing, Borrowing, Remembering 2 - concert series from the Berkeley Ensemble
27th September 2012
What links Lennox Berkeley, often remembered for his cool and elegant scores, with the composer of the primitive, pounding Rite of Spring? What connects these composers with Classical masters Haydn and Mozart? History remembers innovators, but all four stole, borrowed and remembered the music of their past. Join the Berkeley Ensemble as they explore the connections between these seemingly irreconcilable figures in their new concert series at The Forge in Camden, London.
