»In our chamber music concert linked to Verdi's Macbeth just before Christmas you'll hear early, completely new and slightly spooky music. We've chosen a charming string trio by Wolf-Ferrari, who met Verdi, playing new sounds with the jazz saxophonist Roger Hanschel, remembering Lady Macbeth's mad scene with Corelli's La Follia and hope to spook you with witchy music by Purcell and Emerson. A proper feast!« (Freya Ritts-Kirby)
