Composers often get inspired to tell stories through music. Benjamin Britten's forbidden love turned into Young Apollo, while Sally Beamish was fascinated by the creative powers of Mary Shelley. And so on.
In the University Aula this evening, you'll meet The Norwegian Chamber Orchestra with Pekka Kuusisto and Simon Crawford Phillips in a concert programme rich in musical storytelling, inspiration and love.
