    Overview

    Julian Anderson has programmed a concert of compelling reflections on the music of poetry and the poetry of music.

    Aurora Orchestra opens with the rhythmic intensity of Stravinsky’s Concertino for string quartet and includes Anderson’s own Poetry Nearing Silence, an eight-movement suite inspired by the drawings and poems of Tom Phillips.

    Claire Booth is soloist in the world première of Augusta Read Thomas’s new work.
