T
he London Mozart Players return to St John’s, Smith Square in 2013 with three sparkling orchestral concerts, generously sponsored by M&G Investments. Described in the press as “one of the best chamber orchestras anywhere”, the LMP showcases the breadth and depth of the renowned music-making under Music Director Gérard Korsten and two of the UK’s most acclaimed exponents of the soloist/conductor role, pianist Howard Shelley and violinist Joseph Swensen.
In the LMP’s special Valentine’s Day concert British actor Simon Callow guest narrates a script he has written to evoke the atmosphere of Sibelius’s setting of a passionate and tragic love story. Howard Shelley takes centre-stage in one of Mozart’s most famous piano concerti, and an uplifting concert finale of Brahms’ abundant mood shifts and rich colours. Violinist Anthony Marwood, “a magic name in the business” (Independent), features in our thrilling allBeethoven series finale.
