Unashamedly patriotic music is programmed for our next concert, falling as it does on the day after St George’s Day. A concert featuring twentieth-century English music by Vaughan Williams, Arnold and Elgar.
For those of you who have enjoyed the well-known tunes included in the concert on 6 February, the overture to The Wasps and Arnold’s Cornish Dances will undoubtedly appeal.
Principal bassoon David Robinson is our featured soloist in one of Elgar’s lesser-known works, the Romance for Bassoon and Orchestra, and symphonies don’t get more English than Vaughan Williams’ London Symphony.
Vaughan Williams Overture – The Wasps
Arnold Four Cornish Dances
Elgar Romance for Bassoon and Orchestra
Vaughan Williams Symphony No 2 – London Symphony
Conductor Natalia Luis-Bassa
Bassoon Soloist David Robinson
Join us in the Town Hall on 24 April 2010 for this celebratory programme.
Good luck to Natalia and David for this concert. I would love to come and hear it, but unfortunately can’t get away. Hope it goes well.
Best wishes,
Judith Smith
(1st bassoon, Hallam Sinfonia)
