Pocket Sinfonia recreates the enchanting atmosphere of the19th century salon, where popular orchestral works would have been heard in intimate chamber renditions.
This is made possible via various transcriptions by composers of the 19th century, including Hummel and Clementi. Pocket Sinfonia has since made their own arrangements, applying spontaneity and vigour to creations that are not merely smaller versions of great pieces, but are new and artistic in their own right.
There will be a bucket collection on leaving, in aid of Music Therapy lessons given to students at Mountjoy School.
