Pocket Sinfonia reinterprets orchestral masterpieces with the spontaneity and intimacy of a chamber group.
Using both modern and period instruments, Pocket Sinfonia was formed to recreate the atmosphere of 19th Century living room parties, where the intimacy of chamber music performance could be applied to orchestral-scale pieces. This is made possible via various transcriptions by composers of the 19th Century, including Hummel and Clementi. Pocket Sinfonia has since made their own arrangements, applying spontaneity and vigour to creations that are not merely smaller versions of great pieces, but are new and artistic in their own right.
Programme:
Prokofiev: Romeo and Juliet
Fanny Mendelssohn: Overture in C major
Felix Mendelssohn: A Midsummer Night's Dream
