Anticipating the 80th birthday of RCM Prince Consort Professor of Music Colin Matthews, Timothy Lines directs a concert that celebrates this legendary composer.
Colin Matthews has deep connections to the RCM, including working with alumni Benjamin Britten and Imogen Holst, and this concert features his Two-Part Invention alongside his arrangement of Berg’s Vier Stücke. Berg’s 140th anniversary falls this year, as does Boulez’s centenary, and the programme begins with Boulez’s tribute to Stravinsky, Mémoriale.
