Aldeburgh Music

Mahler Chamber Orchestra
Susanna Mälkki conductor
Pierre-Laurent Aimard piano

Haydn Symphony No.60 ‘Il Distratto’; Symphony No.101 ‘The Clock’
Ligeti Ramifications
Birtwistle Slow Frieze for piano and ensemble

The Mahler Chamber Orchestra offers a fresh and insightful mix of classical and 20th-century, spiced with Haydnesque humour; Ligeti uses unorthodox tuning to create a bewitching mesh of textures but in Haydn’s hands ‘de-tuned’ instruments are pure slapstick.

To conclude, a symphonic ticking clock to recall the Festival’s opening weekend.

Pre-concert performance Aldeburgh Young Musicians and Richard Benjafield present Aldo Clementi’s L’Orologio di Arcevia, a piece written for the carillon of a town clock.
Snape 6.30pm. Admission free, but please book.
