9 Symphonies in a day! Craig Lawton and Paul Ingram return for their SIXTH musical marathon fundraiser. Get swept away in a day of thrilling and lavish Bohemian music by Czech composer Antonin Dvořák. University of Southampton Music Alumni Craig and Paul invite you to join them and support the Centre for Cancer Immunology. It is 18 years since Haydathon saw an ambitious 104 symphonies performed in three days – and all for a good cause. The last two years have seen a whirl of fiercely emotive and dynamic Russian music from Tchaikovsky and Shostakovich. This time, the dynamic duo and their orchestra turn their focus to the Czech Republic and the music of Dvořák. Dvořákathon will focus on the 9 complete symphonies by the composer delivered over four concerts.
