  • Type of event: BWE Concert
    Start time: 7:25pm
    Duration: 2 hours
    Description: This BWE concert featured music inspired by quotations from great countries, cities and literary works. 

    The jewel in the crown of the programme was the world premiere of Mozart's Pets - a new work by Judith Bingham commissioned by BWE. This work offers an evocation of the final days of the composer as sensed by his animals. The piece depticts the poignant moment of Mozart's death with the final monologue being left to the canary - as realised by a solo flute.
