This November concert features three deeply contrasting works. One of Gerald Finzi’s most popular and immediately appealing pieces - The Clarinet Concerto - with soloist William White.
A concert classic – Les Preludes by Liszt - whose main theme was used for the memorable tune in the Saturday morning children’s cinema series 'Flash Gordon conquers the Universe’, and a most beautiful combination of words and music - ‘Voices of Remembrance’ - by the very successful local composer who has played with us in ESO - Laura Rossi.
