A visionary artist who probed deep into the human psyche, Michael Tippett sought to unite apparently conflicting styles and celebrate the vast energy of cultural diversity in his music.
Wigmore Hall’s Tippett Series marks the fifteenth anniversary of the composer’s death with a retrospective survey of works central to his creative development, opening with the Beethoven-inspired first string quartet and exploring the cantata Boyhood’s End, first performed at Morley College in 1943 by Peter Pears and Benjamin Britten.
