NEXT CONCERT

The concert starts with the waltz rhythms, lively tempos, and playful mood of the Fledermaus Overture, music typical of Viennese operetta. The overture is followed by lyrical, dramatic and emotional ballet music based on the fairy tale of Cinderella. The bold melodies, and dramatic tension of Carmen follow and include the Habanera and the Danse Boheme. The concert ends with the complex rhythms and energetic dances of Romeo and Juliet inspired West Side Story.

We are delighted to welcome Tim Crooks as conductor.
