Join us for a drink on arrival. Then Lawrence Power accompanied by Huw Watkins will perform the premiere of the first of Three Berceuses by Thomas Adès, and other pieces written for him; you will learn more about the Viola Commissioning Circle, our plans to underwrite the commissioning of new works for the viola, and how we are seeking supporters and collaborators.
