Programme Note
Helix Ensemble returns to the warmth of St Andrew's with music to lift the spirits! Music old and new is combined to provide a concert full of rhythm and melody. Enjoy Dvorak's Suite of Czech dances, before the intriguing Hommage by Ibert that displays the wit of Mozart's operatic music. Delius's beautiful tone poem also uses a folk song, this time from Norway, and we end with Beethoven's cheerful and engaging 4th Symphony.
