Sinfonia Smith SquareSmith Square, Westminster
Tue 27 Oct · 21:00
About this event
Beyond the celebrated composer of opera lies a musician deeply inspired by the dances and songs of his time. Theatre music sits alongside lively hornpipes, jigs, and traditional Scottish and Irish tunes, revealing a Purcell who is vibrant and theatrical. Joined by guest mezzo-soprano Ilektra Platiopoulou, this programme offers a fresh and intimate portrait of the composer, one whose genius is rooted in the living energy of people. Performed in the round, you’ll be up close to the musicians as the music of Purcell refracts into songs, dances, and playful rounds.
