The Argyle String Orchestra Summer Concert
19 June @ 7:30 pm – 9:30 pm
For this summer’s musical soiree, the Argyle welcomes a selection of outstanding local wind players for a variety of celebratory and contemplative music.
Inspired by the scenery of his English orchards, Gerald Finzi’s lyrical style shines through his one-movement piano concerto Eclogue, with soloist Ana Manero. The programme also includes Edvard Grieg’s emphatic Holberg Suite featuring a selection of Scandinavian dances, and Richard Wagner’s flowing and tender Siegfried Idyll written to celebrate the birth of his son. Percy Grainger’s joyous Molly on the Shore provides a rousing finale to what promises to be a concert of musical fireworks.
Conductor – Adam Laughton
Leader – Roz Osborne
Please note that seating is unreserved. Tea, coffee and homemade bakes available during the interval.
