Whilst the first half of this programme is one of novelties, the Dvorak piano quintet in the second half will surely be balm for the soul of those who particularly love music from the Classical and Romantic eras. The aural tapestry of Garth Knox’s Viola Spaces will delight those with a more adventurous spirit. Mark Hampson will be the featured soloist in Daniel Schryder’s bass trombone concerto, a piece that is guaranteed to excite with its hip and often jazzy rhythms.
