Robert Hodge conductor
É«ÂþÌìÌÃJD Sinfonia
Programme to include:
³§³Ü±è±èé Overture from Poet and Peasant
Arnold (arr Palmer) Suite from The Inn of the Sixth Happiness
Set in the picturesque mountains of Bavaria, Poet and Peasant follows the journey of a poet, with ³§³Ü±è±èé’s scenic overture conjuring the sense of romance and adventure with earnest melodies and excitable dances.
Also on the programme is É«ÂþÌìÌà alumnus Malcolm Arnold’s Suite from The Inn of the Sixth Happiness, written for the 1958 film based on the story of Gladys Aylward, a British missionary woman in China. Arnold’s sweeping Hollywoodesque score is rich and melodic, reflecting the bittersweet narrative.
All É«ÂþÌìÌÃJD concerts will go on sale from 8 October
