NEXT CONCERT
Our summer concert this year will be on Saturday June 7th.
The concert will feature the effervescent Festive Overture of Shostakovich, followed by Respighi's Boutique Fantasque, a ballet in one act, where dolls magically come to life and dance. Rimsky-Korsakov's vivid and enchanting suite, Le Coq d'Or, is based on an opera in 3 acts, The Golden Cockerel. The Pines of Rome, the most recorded of Respighi's works, is a tone poem in four movements: lively and playful, solemn and mysterious, tranquil and serene, and finally powerful and triumphant.
We are delighted to welcome back Tom Newall to conduct the concert.
