Overview

An intriguing programme including a new work by a rising star amongst composers of a younger generation: staged at the Linbury in 2022, Oliver Leith’s opera Last Days raised an already high profile further. Guitar pieces by the 19th-century virtuoso Catharina Pratten and an experimental piece by John White (born 1936) are also heard.
