Concerts in Hall Two
1.30pm and 3.30pm
In these short concerts, members of Royal Northern Sinfonia perform light new works from Newcastle University Music Students, the result of a commission competition, won by Hugo Bell with his work Lament of The Red Kite.
Trai Anfield, presenter of BBC Radio 4's natural history programme The Living World, and Patron of FoRK, will host the event, as well as present a film on red kites, produced by Enlightened Media in partnership with Northumbrian Water, to accompany the winning work.
Celebrating all things with wings, the chamber ensemble also perform Haydn’s String Quartet ‘The Bird’ with its twittering trill of strings, plus local folk group Stocksfield Stompers perform their own Red Kite-inspired tune set
