Conductor Chloe Rooke with music that fizzes and music that breathes

Conductor Chloe Rooke reveals familiar and unfamiliar works in a new light, including heartfelt Mozart and a Celtic-Latin fusion.

Chloe Rooke conducts orchestral concerts and opera performances regularly in both the Netherlands and the UK, besides enjoying bringing musicians together in more unusual places - taking music directly to people, wherever they might be.

Chloe鈥檚 choices on Inside Music range from the positive message of unity implied in Gustav Holst鈥檚 鈥楯upiter鈥 from his Planets suite, to the jazzy influences and melodic gorgeousness of Madeleine Dring鈥檚 Trio for flute, oboe and piano.

She also plays a calm but deeply emotional piece by Benjamin Britten, celebrates the precocious composing talent of Clara Schumann and delves into what she calls the 鈥榠ntention and intensity鈥 of two Intermezzi by Johannes Brahms.

A series in which each week a musician explores a selection of music - from the inside.
