We are very pleased to welcome the brilliant German National Orchestra, featuring the very best young players performing in Germany.
They will be conducted by the all-round phenomenon Wayne Marshall who will also be soloist in the sensational blend of jazz and classical music in Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue. The concert will begin with Benjamin Britten’s much loved Young Persons Guide to the Orchestra, with its rousing finale, and then the second half of the programme will feature a performance of one of the most popular works ever composed by a British composer – Gustav Holst’s The Planets with its ominous, tantalising rhythms of Mars, the beauty of Venus, the grandeur of Jupiter and the mysterious ethereal music describing Neptune that finishes the work. This concert, highlighting three of the most popular pieces of music ever composed, is not to be missed.
