A little reminder that it's not always cool to fall asleep at a classical concert, however soothing the music may seem... a little clip from Stravinsky's spectacular Firebird that we will be playing on 14th June... youtube.com/watch?v=WnMv6-…

A week today you can hear Shostakovich's 5th symphony in all it's glory at Kendal Parish Church... when we'll be joined by additional professional musicians - piano, harp, percussion and more. Meanwhile here's a little snippet from an earlier rehearsal - excuse the sound quality!

Shostakovich managed a balancing act between expressing himself as an artist (and a person), while not going too far down the one-way street to the gulag... The finale of his 5th symphony, a hymn to socialism - or a reflection of the climate of fear..?ticketsource.co.uk/wes

Our next concert features Grażyna Bacewicz’s Symphony No.3 The music is full of compressed energy and vivid orchestral colour. Bacewicz, one of the 20th century’s most important female composers, balances structure, drive and emotion. The symphony pulses with life and conviction!
