St. Gregory's Orchestra, Dylan Latham

Orchestral Suite: Swan Lake - Tchaikovsky
Violin Concerto in E minor - Bruch
Symphony no 2 in D minor - Sibelius

St Gregory’s Orchestra returns to The Maddermarket with three very different examples of nineteenth century music.

Swan Lake is the earliest of Tchaikovsky’s three ballets and contains some of his most memorable tunes. He managed to capture the grandeur and power of the tragic story, and grace of the dancers as well.

Bruch’s Violin Concerto is one of the most popular works of the Romantic period, with rich, lyrical melodies. The soloist for this performance is Dylan Latham, who is a pupil at Norwich School.

With his Second Symphony, Sibelius offers unashamedly emotional support for his native Finland in her struggle against oppression, and conjures up the bleak, icy landscape of the country.
