Concerts in the Cotswolds: Polyphony sing Finzi and the Kaleidoscope Chamber Collective play Brahms

Tom McKinney showcases the best performances from the UK and beyond, including Polyphony singing Finzi and the Kaleidoscope Chamber Collective playing Brahms’s first Piano Quartet.

Tom McKinney showcases the best performances by ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ orchestras, choirs, ensembles and other great performing groups from Europe and around the globe.

We revisit this year’s Tetbury Music Festival one last time this week with choral group Polyphony singing music by Finzi and the Kaleidoscope Chamber Collective playing Brahms. There’s more British baroque music from French ensemble Le Consort’s concert given at this summer’s Rheingau Musik Festival, and at 3pm our orchestra in focus this week, the ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ Scottish Symphony Orchestra, is joined by singers Nicky Spence and Ashley Riches for part of Messiaen’s extraordinary opera St Francis of Assisi.
