The Angel in the Marble Mozart Symphony No. 1 in E flat, K. 16 Britten Simple Symphony, Op. 4 Priaulx Rainier Movements Nick Martin Violin Concerto (world premiere) Daniel Pioro violin / director Caroline Pether director Manchester Camerata and virtuoso violinist Daniel Pioro join forces once again to perform the London Premiere of Nick Martin’s Violin Concerto, which serves as a love letter to British Artist and Sculptor Dame Barbara Hepworth. This hour-long performance presents the new work alongside music of Mozart, Britten and Priaulx Rainier, celebrating themes of youth and connection to Hepworth herself. For this newly Camerata-commissioned violin concerto, Nick Martin has composed a love letter to the work of sculptor Dame Barbara Hepworth. Composed whilst staying in St Ives, Nick says ‘A particular point of inspiration has been Barbara Hepworth’s ‘Landscape Sculpture’-a carved torso-sized, cradle-like form in elm with nine strings of fishing line. I found the number nine resonant, suggestive of the nine months of pregnancy’. This event will last approximately 75 minutes, with no interval.
