About this Event
Great composers invite you to 'see' with your ears - and your heart.
It was in an effort to describe a visit to Fingal’s Cave to his sister that Felix Mendelssohn sketched a twenty-one measure theme, which later became the Hebrides Overture.
Brahms, too, was a master of music as a postcard, evoking the mood and 'colours' of a place with sound.
Talented 8 year old Jonah Gallas won the Music for Young Children competition by portraying "Lightning" in sound.
Our principal oboe Cris Sewerin and principal trumpet Sam Cancellara will paint Copland’s musical picture of the "Quiet City".
And, as much as Europe’s first female cathedral organist loved that instrument, Elfreida Andree went to the broader colour pallet of the full symphony orchestra for her masterful Overture in G.
Come join us for this evocative concert that will open your ears to the sights all around you.
