Introduced from the stage, the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra is thrilled to reopen the Derngate Theatre with an exquisite 75-minute concert that puts the string section of the Orchestra in the spotlight as they perform a selection of well-loved pieces. Grieg’s popular Holberg Suite is supremely crafted, based on eighteenth-century dance forms, while Mendelssohn’s String Symphony No.10 displays a touch of his sensitive style. Tchaikovsky’s sublime Serenade for Strings completes the programme. A work inspired by Mozart and described by the composer as written ‘from the heart’, the Serenade is the perfect piece to showcase the luscious sounds of the RPO’s strings.
Please note that this socially distanced performance has no interval.
