The Glasshouse

Who’s on stage

Royal Northern Sinfonia return to The Maltings with a captivating programme of classical music for wind and strings.

What they’re playing

The first half features two enchanting, impressionistic pieces: Claude Debussy’s delicate Sonata for Flute, Viola, and Harp and Arnold Bax’s lush Nonet (piece for nine instruments). Followed by Franz Schubert’s monumental Octet for clarinet, bassoon, horn, and string quintet. You’ll be swept away by the sheer joy of this symphony disguised as chamber music, as bold and breathtaking as any piece for full orchestra.
