Programme Note
Burford Orchestra’s summer concert will be held on 1 July at Burford School with a 7.30pm start and features a fun programme packed with well-known classics. The first half opens with Rossini’s William Tell Overture and continues in theatrical theme with Pineapple Poll, a ballet adapted from the music of Gilbert and Sullivan’s Savoy Operas. While the second half kicks off with the ghoulish riot of Saint-Saens’s Danse Macabre Overture and concludes with Jazz Suite No. 2 by Shostakovich.
