Sinfonia of London
John Wilson, conductor
British conductor John Wilson has long been a Proms favourite, but last year鈥檚 debut appearance of his new super-orchestra the Sinfonia of London caused a sensation. 鈥楢stonishing,鈥� wrote The Times. For The Spectator, this was 鈥榓n orchestra so thrillingly alive with the sheer glory of it all that hearing them play felt like being a teenager in love鈥�. Now Wilson and the Sinfonia are back, in an all-British programme that pairs much-loved classics by Elgar and Vaughan-Williams with Walton鈥檚 kaleidoscopic Partita, Bax鈥檚 stirring musical seascape and Huw Watkins鈥檚 spirited Flute Concerto, played by its dedicatee Adam Walker.
