This concert will feature six short pieces so it will be particularly suitable for families with children. The concert will start with Rossini’s exuberant overture to The Barber of Seville
and this will be followed by a performance of the popular Rondo from Mozart’s 4th Horn Concerto, humorously parodied by Flanders & Swan in their song ‘I lost my Horn’. Butterworth’s beautiful and evocative Banks of Green Willow will be followed by the premier of a piece for Narrator and Orchestra. Tattercoats is the old English version of Cinderella and this tale has been set to evocative music that will appeal to adults andchildren alike. The jubilant Finale from Beethoven’s Eroica will then lead us to the orchestral transcriptions of four wonderful songs by Gershwin.
The concert will last approximately one hour and ten minutes and it will run without an interval. An online programme will be available by scanning a QR code at the venue.
