We then showcase the ethereal harp with Glière’s glorious and luscious Harp Concerto featuring our soloist Huw Boucher. After the interval we take flight first with the soaring Cantus Arcticus by Finnish composer Rautavaara taking us on a journey with migrating swans before Respighi’s The Birds will bring us back full circle with his evocation of four different birds ending with the familiar sound of the countryside, the cuckoo.
