Join us for a spring concert showcasing two masterpieces of the Romantic era:
Tchaikovsky’s Violin Concerto – Beloved for its virtuosity and emotional depth, Tchaikovsky’s Violin Concerto features a lyrical opening, a delicate slow movement, and an exhilarating finale. Aniela Janiak will perform as the soloist. Rising star Aniela is a student at the renowned Wells Cathedral School and has achieved success in international competitions.
Bruckner’s Symphony No. 4 – Nicknamed the “Romantic,” this majestic symphony evokes sweeping landscapes and spirituality with lush orchestration, soaring brass, and poignant melodies.
Join us for our season finale celebrating the charm of British Light Music, known for its accessible melodies, whimsical character, and British flair.
