Brent Symphony Orchestra Charity Concert

Dvořák’s Symphonic Variations are full of magical warmth and colour and also influenced several other composers, particularly Elgar’s Enigma Variations. Sibelius’ Fifth Symphony is one of the orchestral  masterpieces, displaying the composer’s skill, with evocative and dramatic writing and the famous horn calls which were inspired by swans flying overhead. Berlioz’s mercurial King Lear overture provides a richly programmatic opening to the concert.
