The British are coming! The British are coming! But don’t worry, they’re bringing their musical instruments this time. Formed in London in 1958, the Academy of St. Martin in the Fields is arguably the finest chamber orchestra in the world. Known for its polished, refined sound and stellar musicianship, the Academy performs around 100 concerts a year. On March 10 as part of a 16-city tour, the group will present at the 487-seat Samuel J. and Ethel LeFrak Concert Hall, which has perfect acoustics. Featuring virtuoso cellist (and MacArthur Foundation Fellow) Alisa Weilerstein and virtuoso pianist (and Avery Fisher Career Grant winner) Inon Barnatan, the program includes Britten, Variations on a Theme of Frank Bridge, Op.10; Haydn, Cello Concerto No. 1 in C Major; J.S. Bach, Piano Concerto No. 1 in D minor, BWV 1052; and Haydn, Symphony No.45 in F-sharp minor Farewell.
