Marin Alsop – Britten-Pears Orchestra

Popular classical works for younger audiences narrated + conducted by Marin Alsop and performed by Britten–Pears Orchestra at Snape Maltings Hall.

BRITTEN–PEARS ORCHESTRA
Conductor and Narrator MARIN ALSOP

These live performances from Snape Maltings Concert Hall present some of the most popular classical works for younger audiences. Their perennial appeal is a result of vivid melodies, witty instrumental characterisation, and, in three works, the use of spoken texts to illuminate the narrative. Whether composed to amuse, entertain or educate, each possesses marvellous vitality, lyricism and bravura. The performances are conducted and narrated by Marin Alsop, one of the world’s most inspirational musical communicators.
