Booming percussion and blazing brass announce the opening of Copland’s Fanfare for the Common Man and the beginning of the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra’s Here Come the Classics extravaganza.
The programme includes dramatic and thrilling works including Grieg’s In the Hall of the Mountain King, Beethoven’s Coriolan Overture and Rossini’s William Tell - Galop along with calm and spine-tingling pieces such as Vaughan Williams’ Lark Ascending - for which the RPO’s Leader Duncan Riddell takes centre stage - Mozart’s Horn Concerto, performed by the Orchestra’s Principal French Horn Laurence Davies, and the much-loved Nocturne from Mendelssohn’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream.
This sumptuous programme of classical masterpieces is diverse and captivating and is a concert not to be missed!
