Trevor Pinnock is one of those conductors who brings a special enjoyment to everything he does, and his first visit to Royal Northern Sinfonia promises to be a memorable occasion. We’ve given him carte blanche to curate a unique programme of personal favourites, which includes the baroque grandeur of Handel, the divine inspiration of Mozart, the feather-light Gallic je-ne-sais-quoi of Poulenc’s Sinfonietta and Fauré’s ravishing Cantique. This is going to be a lot of fun – and true to form, Pinnock’s finishing off with an all-out celebration from Joseph Haydn: another great musician who always seems to have a twinkle in his eye.
