A bold new orchestra championing the next generation of professional musicians returns to London this October with Nightscapes – a spellbinding evening of music inspired by dusk, dreams and the mystery of the night.
Held at Battersea Arts Centre, this one-night-only concert is presented by Chromatica, a newly formed orchestra offering vital performance experience to young artists at the start of their professional careers.
Conductor Charlotte Politi, herself a fast-rising talent, leads an eclectic programme that spans Mendelssohn’s sparkling A Midsummer Night’s Dream Overture to Schönberg’s transformative Verklärte Nacht. Nightscapes invites audiences to discover the power of music when the lights go down.
The concert marks a welcome return to Battersea Arts Centre, consolidating Chromatica’s relationship with the venue, which began during the orchestra’s inaugural season last year. Further collaborative projects are due to be announced later in the season.
Chromatica was created to address a growing gap in the UK’s classical music industry, giving talented graduates the opportunity to work at a high professional level in major venues and with emerging conductors. The circle of support for young talent is completed by the Orchestrate programme, through which Chromatica works with secondary schools to help form and develop school orchestras. The programme provides students with opportunities to rehearse and perform side by side with Chromatica Orchestra players throughout the year.
