On 3-5 May King’s Place, London will host a festival dedicated to the ‘Inner Voices’ of David Matthews and Jean Sibelius. Concerts will include their ‘master string quartets’ performed by the Kreutzer Quartet, a performance of violin & piano works, another devoted to their solo piano works by both composers, and finally an orchestral showcase by the English Chamber Orchestra. There will also be a study day on 5 May exploring the careers of Sibelius and Matthews with sessions lead by Andrew Barnett, Julian Anderson, David Matthews and Edward Clark. This will be a unique opportunity to hear Sibelius, the master symphonist, alongside one of the best contemporary British symphonists, David Matthews – who, like Sibelius, has completed seven abstract symphonies.
