Academy of St Martin in the Fields | Londonderry Air "Danny Boy" (Grainger)

Details

Description

Remembering our founder Sir Neville Marriner on his birthday, 15th April, with a piece that was close to his heart, Londonderry Air.

The Academy of St Martin in the Fields filmed this performance at Blackheath Halls in south London in August 2020 - the first project the orchestra did together after the country went into lockdown due to the COVID-19 pandemic in March.

We are extremely grateful to the individuals, trusts, foundations and corporate sponsors who supported the making of this film. Thanks to them we could create both much-needed work for our freelance musicians and new digital content to share with music lovers across the world.

Special thanks to:
London Community Response Fund
The Radcliffe Trust
FTI Consulting
Jefferies
Fidelity
Lady Marriner
Maria Cardamone and Paul Matthews
Simon Haslam and Kate Alcock
