English Chamber Orchestra: Teatime Music
Beckenham Place Mansion, 13th September 2020
Here’s a tasty concept. Instead of streaming full evening concerts, the English Chamber Orchestra has gone after the Sunday matinee audience with a four-week series entitled Teatime Music. Its marketing features tempting morsels, including Devil’s food cake for The Soldier’s Tale and pastel-coloured macarons for Walton’s Façade. Fairies, Fauns and Fantasy features a teapot bearing a rose-tinted herbal brew, but I prepared for the programme of sun-kissed Debussy and Ravel by baking a dozen madeleines instead, lightly dusted with icing sugar.
