We welcome back this great orchestra for what is sure to be a memorable concert.
Dave Brubeck’s Bach-like Brandenburg Gate, originally performed by his famous quartet, was successfully ‘revisited’ in 1961, in a wonderful version for quartet and orchestra.
Philip Glass’ dramatic and colourful score for the film Mishima forms the basis of his last concerto, performed by one of his foremost interpreters.
Dvořák’s enchanting Sixth Symphony is one of his most attractive and enjoyable works, rich in themes, with a genial first movement and tender slow second movement. The third incorporates the energetic Czech furiant dance, before a lively and jubilant finale.
