Hear and Now - LDNSNF_40

From the Royal Festival Hall's Spirit Level, Ivan Hewett introduces an event to mark the fortieth anniversary of the London Sinfonietta, LDNSNF_40, featuring performances of specially-commissioned 'Sinfonietta Short' - solo and duo chamber pieces from Dai Fujikura, Mira Calix, Anna Meredith, Harrison Birtwistle and John Woolrich. Plus a chance to hear new works by Christian Mason, Larry Goves and Claudia Molitor from a concert given earlier this month at the Queen Elizabeth Hall.
