De Havilland Philharmonic

Not often heard, Franck’s The Accursed Huntsman is a short symphonic jewel that tells the story of a Count who violates the Sabbath by going out hunting and is subsequently haunted by demons for the rest of eternity.

Next second time winner of the Hatfield and District Music Festival, Florian Rago performs Brahms’ virtuosic Violin Concerto. Florian last performed with the orchestra in 2009 when his Tchaikovsky Violin Concerto was described by the Welwyn & Hatfield Times as “…an exhilarating performance which at times left the audience quite breathless”

Tchaikovsky’s Symphony No.4 needs little introduction. Its striking opening horn phrases begin a musical journey of powerful and lyrical themes which create an exhilarating and much loved symphonic work.
