Settle Orchestra Spring Concert

Mendelssohn, The Hebrides Overture – sea swell, breaking waves and a storm followed by a tranquil calm: the changeable beauty of the Hebrides Islands in music.

Mendelssohn, Fair Melusine – the mermaid Melusine is in her element in the serene sea in this piece, contrasted with the tempestuousness of her time on land with her husband, the knight Raimund.

Tchaikovsky, Variations on a Rococo Theme – a simple, elegant theme with eight variations.  A chance for our principal cellist, Bob Buller, to showcase his talents.

Beethoven, Symphony No 2 – a lively and exuberant end to the programme.

Saturday 11th March, 7.30pm, Christ Church, Skipton
Saturday 18th March, 7.30pm, Settle Parish Church

Tickets £15 (students £7.50, children free)
