Our first introduction to James MacMillan is here with a short, static and serene meditation on the wood of the Cross.This will be a wonderfully colourful programme with a great deal of plucking from both guitar and harpsichord in the second half, and Boccherini’s fantastic Quintet. Probably a unique opportunity to hear Nicholas Daniel play the castanets!
