Reaching For The Stars - Great British Tone Poems

This concert celebrates the descriptive and evocative powers of three of British music’s greatest tone poets.  Bax’s masterpiece, Tintagel, is a uniquely stirring evocation of the mysterious hinterlands in which the Arthurian legends were born, while Elgar’s Falstaff is a richly textured portrait of the life and personality of one of Shakespeare’s most memorable characters. Holst’s ground-breaking suite The Planets, a work of unique and extraordinary power, beauty and immediacy crowns this thrilling evening of music with an invocation of the infinite.
