NEXT CONCERT
In our autumn concert we will be presenting Brahms' Academic Festival Overture, a light-hearted orchestral work, which weaves together student drinking songs, blending seriousness with wit. The concerto will be the Horn Concerto by Edward Gregson, a dynamic and expressive work written for solo horn and orchestra or wind band. It showcases the virtuosity and lyrical range of the horn. The final work in the programme will be Tchaikovsky's Symphony No. 6, the Pathétique, a hauntingly melodic and deeply emotional symphony exploring themes of fate, despair and resignation
We are delighted to welcome our President Edward Gregson to conduct his own composition and Agata Zajac to conduct the Brahms and the Tchaikovsky.
