NEXT CONCERT

    Sat 15 June 2013, 7.30 pm, St George's Bristol   

Stefan Hofkes  conductor  ·  Jo Edwards  violin  ·  Amy Catt  mezzo-soprano

"Last Night of the Proms", including:

Vaughan Williams : The Lark Ascending, with Jo Edwards
Parry : Jerusalem, with Amy Catt
Elgar : Pomp and Circumstance March No 1

...plus Ravel La Valse, Wagner Tristan and Isolde - Prelude and Liebestod,
Vaughan Williams The Wasps Overture, Delius Légende and Fantastic Dance
and of course Rule Britannia!

Union flags at the ready - this summer concert is a Last Night of The Proms affair! The soaring violin of Vaughan Williams' The Lark Ascending and lesser-known, but no less beautiful Légende by Delius (both with talented local young violinist Jo Edwards) are complemented by two short orchestral works by these two English masters.  Following a brief jaunt across the channel for Ravel's colourful and giddy La Valse and the aching melancholy of unrequited love found in Wagner's Tristan und Isolde, the irresistible Last Night finishers with Amy Catt bring the evening to a thoroughly British, rousing conclusion.
