Join us for an evening of Fire, Fate and Renewal
BERLIOZ - Carnival Romain Overture
ADAMS - Short Ride in a Fast Machine
WAGNER - Siegfried’s Death & Funeral Music
DVORAK - Symphony No 8
Our next concert traces an exhilarating arc through some of the most vivid orchestral storytelling every written.
Berlioz’s Carnaval Romain bursts open the evening in a blaze of colour and carnival energy, its whirling rhythms setting the stage for the sheer velocity of John Adams’ Short Ride in a Fast Machine, a breathless celebration of modern momentum.
The mood deepens aas we enter Wagner’s world of myth and mortality; Siegfried’s Death and Funeral Music stands as one of the most powerful meditations on heroism and fate in the orchestral repertoire.
From this darkness emerges the luminous optimism of Dvorak’s Eighth Symphony – a work overflowing with birdsong, dance, and the irrepressible renewal of the natural world. Together, these pieces form a sweeping journey through exhilaration, loss and the return of light.
