Britten's Simple Symphony
Viola player Timothy Ridout and the Munich Chamber Orchestra play music including Dobrinka Tabakova's vibrant Suite in the Old Style and Britten's lively Simple Symphony.
The British violist Timothy Ridout returns to the Wigmore Hall in London with the Munich Chamber Orchestra, which celebrated its 75th year last year, and their programme includes Dobrinka Tabakova’s vibrant three-movement Suite in the Old Style and the young Benjamin Britten’s equally rousing Simple Symphony.
