We are delighted to welcome Richard Laing back to conduct the orchestra for our annual visit to The Apex in Bury St Edmunds, and excited to work with internationally acclaimed violinist Fenella Humphreys who will be our soloist in Britten’s hauntingly beautiful violin concerto.

Our concert starts with the overture taken from the incidental music composed by Ralph Vaughan Williams for a play by Aristophanes. And after the interval the twentieth century works from the first half of our concert are complemented by Tchaikovsky’s brooding, passionate and deeply lyrical fifth symphony.
