DVORAK AND MAHLER

Dvořák                Serenade for Strings in E major

Mahler               Symphony No 1

Steve Bingham, conductor

Ely Sinfonia

Ely Sinfonia returns to Ely Cathedral to perform Mahler’s Symphony No 1, arguably one of the greatest musical treats in the orchestral repertoire. One of the most innovative pieces of music of its time, it was inspired by German folk stories and creates a magical atmosphere filled with the joy of living, love, abandonment and death. 

But first, luxuriate in Dvořák’s famous Serenade for Strings, filled with lush melodies and rhythmic Czech folk music. Blending radiant joy with wistful nostalgia, it shows the true timbre of the different instruments as it weaves melodies and countermelodies into a sensuous drama of conversing voices.

Heard in the glorious surroundings of Ely Cathedral, this will be a concert to delight every music lover.
