Concert details and Programme:
Reflecting the theme ‘Dance’, the concert includes compositions by Brahms, Parry, Piazzolla and Rautavaara

Parry’s contribution is in the form of his gorgeous ‘English Suite’ for strings, composed in 1914
Early English music of Purcell brings a suite of dances from The Fairy Queen, arranged by Simon Walton
The atmosphere heats up with dance music by the vibrant Argentinian composer Astor Piazzolla in special arrangements by Simon Walton.
The entertainment continues with a vivacious suite ‘Fiddlers’ composed in 1952 by the Finnish composer Einojuhani Rautavaara.
The talented young composer Anna Semple has also written ‘Tango’ for the orchestra, which will receive its first public performance at this concert
