Join us for a rich and dramatic afternoon of orchestral storytelling
Part of the Norfolk Symphony Orchestra 50th Anniversary Season
Add to my Calendar 22-03-2026 15:30 22-03-2026 17:30 36 Storytelling We open with the thrilling William Tell Overture by Rossini — a piece packed with drama, beauty, and of course, its famous galloping finale. Then, be transported to the fjords and folklore of Norway with Grieg’s enchanting Peer Gynt Suite No.1, including the dreamy Morning Mood and the mischievous In the Hall of the Mountain King. The centrepiece of the concert is Berlioz’s evocative Harold in Italy, featuring acclaimed viola soloist Milena Simovic. Inspired by Lord Byron’s wandering hero, this semi-symphonic work takes you on a powerful emotional journey through the Italian countryside, with the viola as the introspective voice at its heart. This is music that paints pictures and stirs the imagination — a perfect way to spend your afternoon! Book your tickets now and experience a timeless afternoon of passion and poetry.
