St. Andrew’s Holborn, 5 St Andrew Street, London EC4A 3AF
This Autumn, Midori Komachi is reviving a neglected British Violin Concerto as part of her latest project bridging UK and Japanese cultures through music. Komachi’s initiative, sparked by her research and discovery of the manuscript of the Concerto for Violin and Strings by Imogen Holst at the Archive, Britten Pears Arts in Aldeburgh, has resulted in the score publication by Faber Music and a series of events this year.
As soloist, Komachi will give the first public performance with the Elgar Sinfonia conducted by Adrian Brown at St Andrew’s Church, Holborn, London on Sunday 24 November 2024 at 4.30pm.
The project is supported by The Great Britain Sasakawa Foundation.
