Spring concert

For this concert, we will be playing the exciting Russian Easter Festival Overture by Rimsky-Korsakov, first performed in St. Petersbug in 1888.

​

After this, we will be performing the Horn Concerto by Nicholas Barton, originally written for Paul Willett, who gave the first performance in 1982. This evening, Paul will be conducting while the solo horn part will be performed by his nephew, Alex Willett.

​

In the second half of the concert we will be performing a work which deserves to be much better known: Hubert Parry's Symphony No. 4 in E minor. This symphony, composed in 1889, has many similarities with Elgar's first symphony (1908). Parry's symphony is a richly romantic work, full of colour and drama, and is perhaps one of the finest symphonies of the late Romantic era.

​

​​We are delighted to be playing in the church of St Peter and St Paul in Deddington and we look forward to welcoming you there.
