Event information

Spring is in the Air

A concert to celebrate the Spring and the countryside, getting off to a buzzing start with Vaughan Williams Overture to The Wasps and then moving into the tender romance of “The Walk to the Paradise Garden” by Delius which evokes the calm of the evening under the stars.

And then to celebrate our feathered friends. We are delighted to have the wonderful prize winning violinist, Amy Littlewood who will put the lark to its soaring flight in Vaughan Williams gorgeous rhapsody for solo violin and orchestra in The Lark Ascending, one of the most beautiful evocations of nature in all of the repertoire. Then onwards to “On Hearing the First Cuckoo in Spring”, a typically sentimental and languid romance by Delius.

Finally we end this concert celebrating the great outdoors with Beethoven’s Symphony No 6, the Pastoral, one of the greatest and most popular symphonies ever written with its wonderful depiction of a walk in the countryside, the streams and brooks that he crosses, the happy peasants dancing in the fields, a fearsome storm and the contented calm as it passes and abates. Under the inspiring guidance of Paul Hilliam and in the wonderful acoustic of The Voyager Concert Hall, CPSO is offering the perfect complement to the season.

All ages.
