Symphony of Spring at Clifton Cathedral on Saturday 23rd March 2019
Posted on: 21 Mar 2019A programme of English classical music will evoke the true, noble spirit of England in a concert being held at Clifton Cathedral on Saturday 23rd March 2019.
Symphony of Spring will include pieces by the formidable, legendary likes of iconic Brit composers Holst and Vaughan Williams, but also feature two exciting UK premieres commissioned by the BBC Concert Orchestra by Peter Cowdrey and Guy Barker.
William Goodchild is a familiar face to the city's classical music enthusiasts and will preside over the Bristol Symphony Orchestra with his usual skillful baton waving, while featured violinist will be Charles Mutter alongside other guest leader Victora Medland.
Cowdrey's playful and cheeky Bremania will rub shoulders with the capricious, tango-influenced textures of Guy Barker's Concerto in One Act for Violin, while English musical giants Holst and Vaughan Williams will lend towering gravitas with the rarely-played Egdon Heath by the former and the beautiful, transcendent Fifth Symphony by the latter.
Musical sublimity and brilliance on every level, then, for a concert of style, culture and class that will stir the senses and make you feel proud to be British. The downbeat starts at 7.30pm. Tickets cost £20 online or £22.50 on the door for adults, £10 for under 16s in advance or on the door and can be purchased here.
Clifton Cathedral is located at Clifton Park, Clifton, Bristol, BS8 3BX. Tel. 0117 962 9522
