Concerts
Join us for a programme of compelling music, perfect for a summer evening. Known as the “English Richard Strauss” during her lifetime, Dorothy Howell was just 21 years old when her symphonic poem Lamia premiered at The Proms, to a rapturous response. Ben Tarlton, one of the country’s leading cellists, performed Brahms’ Double Concerto with us in 2022. We’re thrilled that he returns to perform Saint-Saëns’s first cello concerto, a piece that helped secure the composer’s reputation and acceptance by the French musical establishment, and which is still considered to be one of the greatest of all cello concertos. In the second half of the concert, we journey into the colourful world of The Arabian Nights with Rimsky-Korsakov’s dazzling symphonic suite Scheherazade, an exhilarating piece with one of the most descriptive scores in the repertoire.
