Didcot Concert Orchestra

Didcot Concert Orchestra

Didcot Concert Orchestra returns to Cornerstone for its fourth concert on Sunday 9 June at 4pm.  The programme begins with Emil von Reznicek's effervescent Donna Diana Overture, followed by an unjustly neglected melodic miniature by Glazunov. Young rising star Leo Appel then joins us for Bruch's ever-popular First Violin Concerto. Henri Duparc was a very self-critical French composer who destroyed much of his orchestral output. His Danse Lente is one of only three surviving orchestral pieces, and it deserves to be heard much more frequently. Effervescence returns aplenty as the concert ends with the 17-year-old Bizet's tuneful and remarkably accomplished Symphony in C.  More information and tickets at www.didcotconcertorchestra.org.uk or 01235 515144.
