Toby Spence thrilled Festival 2006 audiences with his beautifully lyrical performance in Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg. His performance of Berlioz’s sparkling Les nuits d’été sits in the middle of an evening of diverse musical treats.

What the critics say:

‘Adès’s conducting is always informed by his marvellously intelligent composing mind, and it makes for performances of fascinating clarity and dancing energy.’
- THE DAILY TELEGRAPH

‘[Toby Spence] became something of a star at this summer’s Edinburgh Festival with a startling performance in Benjamin Britten’s Curlew River... there’s a brightness in Spence’s tone, an easy, heroic ring in the sound’
- THE GUARDIAN
