Constant & Kit Lambert Junior Fellow pianist Irena Radić presents a programme of works by composer Kenneth V Jones in celebration of his centenary.
Jones studied at the RCM and later became a professor of composition there. He was a prolific film composer, founder of the Wimbledon Symphony Orchestra, conductor and organist. During the war he spent four years flying Sunderland flying boats in Africa and the Far East.
His concert works have remained largely unknown until recently, but are now being rediscovered, performed and recorded by musicians, including the London Mozart Players. Amongst his output are many exciting, varied and characterful chamber works, a selection of which will be featured in this centenary celebration concert.
