Conductor Chloe Rooke with music that fizzes and music that breathes

Conductor Chloe Rooke reveals familiar and unfamiliar works in a new light, including heartfelt Mozart and a Celtic-Latin fusion.

Chloe Rooke conducts orchestral concerts and opera performances regularly in both the Netherlands and the UK, besides enjoying bringing musicians together in more unusual places - taking music directly to people, wherever they might be.

Chloe’s choices on Inside Music range from the positive message of unity implied in Gustav Holst’s β€˜Jupiter’ from his Planets suite, to the jazzy influences and melodic gorgeousness of Madeleine Dring’s Trio for flute, oboe and piano.

She also plays a calm but deeply emotional piece by Benjamin Britten, celebrates the precocious composing talent of Clara Schumann and delves into what she calls the β€˜intention and intensity’ of two Intermezzi by Johannes Brahms.

A series in which each week a musician explores a selection of music - from the inside.
