Join us as we kick off season six with a magnificent program for strings, featuring Benjamin Britten’s Variations on a Theme by Frank Bridge.

The Variations stand not just as a unique tribute to teacher by pupil, but also as a fascinating insight into the musical personality of the developing composer. In parallel, the CCCO will also perform music of Frank Bridge, and Arvo Pärt’s Cantus in Memoriam of Benjamin Britten.
