Sunday Fantasies - English fantasias. Musicians from the RSO perform as chamber musicians in a concert series curated this time by the orchestra's 2nd solo oboist Cristian Moré Coloma.

Fantasia refers to a free-form, often improvisatory composition that may contain sudden shifts in mood, virtuosic technique, or loose variations on familiar themes. The programme centres on Benjamin Britten's Phantasy op. 2 for oboe and string trio - a work Britten composed at age 18 as a student at the Royal College of Music, which won the Cobbett Prize in 1933. The programme also includes Frank Bridge's String Quartet No. 2 and British contemporary composer Howard Blake's Flute Quintet op. 493.

Performers: Cristian Moré Coloma (artistic direction and oboe), Yuki Koyama (flute), Paula Sundqvist (violin), Pauline Fleming-Unelius (violin), Camilla Vilkman (viola), Miika Uuksulainen (cello).
