Overview

The Nash Ensemble’s 50th anniversary series ends with its annual ‘Nash Inventions’ concert, featuring two new quintets commissioned from major British composers of two generations, Richard Causton and the irrepressible octogenarian Sir Peter Maxwell Davies.

The programme also includes works written for the group by the eminent American composer Elliott Carter and by three leading British figures, Davies’s contemporary Sir Harrison Birtwistle, Simon Holt and Wigmore Hall’s current Composer in Residence, Julian Anderson.
