Journey to the Rhineland
Part of the 106th Season Maidstone Symphony Orchestra
Add to my Calendar 03-12-2016 19:30 03-12-2016 21:30 36 Journey to the Rhineland Strings dominate the first half of this programme, starting with Elgar’s wonderfully evocative Introduction and Allegro. Its beautiful “Welsh tune” and “devil of a fugue”, as he called it, make it one of Elgar’s most endearing works. As can be said for Bruch’s very popular 1st Violin Concerto. Our soloist is a brilliant young virtuoso from New Zealand, Benjamin Baker. There’s a thrilling and bouyant optimism about Schumann’s “Rhenish” Symphony, which includes a superb musical portrait of Cologne Cathedral. Mote Hall, Maidstone DD/MM/YYYYDetails
