A quick overview of everything we did in September.
Prom 63: Marius Neset and the London Sinfonietta
On Saturday 3 September Marius Neset and the London Sinfonietta performed Prom 63 in the Royal Albert Hall. It was the world premiere of Neset's Geyser, a piece that rampantly draws on the natural and creative forces of this world. It was a wonderful evening which was greatly enjoyed by those who attended.
