Bridgetower: Among Friends

Discover the extraordinary musical world of George Augustus Polgreen Bridgetower, the brilliant violinist-composer whose remarkable career spanned the courts, concert halls and salons of Europe and Britain. Celebrated in his lifetime, Bridgetower moved in the illustrious circles of Haydn, Hummel and Beethoven, yet until recently, much of his own music was thought lost. This programme brings some of Bridgetower’s music back to life, alongside works by Beethoven, Shields and Clementi—musicians, collaborators and influences who shaped his remarkable journey. Through their music, Sabi Ensemble reveals a vibrant network of friendship, creativity and exchange, placing Bridgetower centre stage once again.
