Event of the Week
On 21 March, London’s Smith Square Hall will be filled with the wonderful sound of spring as Twickenham Choral perform The Seasons. Lesser-known and more infrequently performed than his Creation, Haydn’s The Seasons is not simply an oratorio. It is a vivid celebration of nature and human life, painted in music that feels dramatic, fresh and surprisingly modern even as it harks back to a bygone era. www.sinfoniasmithsq.org.uk/event/haydn-the-seasons – more information at www.twickenhamchoral.org.uk
