A unique chance to hear music you’ve never heard before performed with The Symphonova, a digital orchestra conducted and invented by Shelley Katz, in a concert of music some of which was suppressed by the Nazi regime. Live soloists join the Symphonova, Soprano Helen Bailey, Tenor Ben Hancox-Lachman and Flautist Abigail Dolan.
A Symphonova concert is an extraordinary, immersive and revelatory experience as conductor and inventor Shelley Katz appears to conjure a rich and responsive orchestral sound out of thin air. The Symphonova is an empowering technology, which can bring the power and beauty of a full orchestra to any venue, enabling a wide range of music to be performed where that would otherwise be an impossibility.
The full programme will include the following works:
Hans Krieg – Jiscor (In Memoriam)
Malcolm Singer – Eli, Eli Fantasy for Flute and Strings
Bob Hanf – Serenade for Orchestra
Joe Kraemer – Tribute and Celebration for Alfred Bader for Orchestra
Robert Kahn – Praeludium
