Classical Masterpieces

NEW Sinfonia present Classical Masterpieces, a concert presented in partnership with the Royal Northern College of Music as part of our commitment to developing the next generation of musicians and conductors. 

NEW Sinfonia will be joined on stage by four of the RNCM's promising Master's Student Conductors Leon Frantzen, Ann Miller, Philip Trudgeon and Xinjie Yang in a concert that features music by the classical heavyweights of Mozart, Schubert, Debussy and Mahler. 

Commencing with the ominous tones of Schubert's Rosamunde Overture, the concert will feature rising Welsh star Morgana Warren Jones in a performance of Gustav Mahler's brooding Rückert-Lieder. Morgana recently won the RNCM’s prestigious Frederic Cox Award for Singing competition and will be a finalist in the Joyce and Michael Kennedy Award for the singing of Strauss in June 2022.

The calm serenity of Debussy's Prélude à l'après-midi d'un faune will provide a moment of tranquility before we conclude with a rousing performance of Mozart's masterful Symphony No. 41, nicknamed the Jupiter  Symphony.
