World Premiere at St Clement Danes

Nonesuch was back at the gorgeous St Clement Danes Church in the Strand for our summer lunchtime concert in May. This time we were privileged to give the very first performance of Robin Wedderburn’s Variations. Robin is a playing member of the orchestra with a distinguished career as a musician, teacher and composer, and the new work earned heartfelt applause from audience and players alike.

Also in the programme: our principal cellist Alistair Baumann gave a spirited performance of CPE Bach’s Cello in A, and we finished the concert with Stravinsky’s riveting Concerto in D for String Orchestra.

Once again, we are extremely grateful to our large audience of supporters who donated generously to the closing collection in support of Nonesuch’s work with London schools. Thank you!
