Durham University Palatinate Orchestra's symphony orchestra returns to perform Dvořák’s Ninth Symphony, "From the New World", alongside works by Walton, Elgar and Chaminade.
The Durham University Palatinate Orchestra presents a programme spanning the rich musical and cultural traditions of Europe and America.
The evening opens with William Walton’s ‘Richard III Suite’, bringing Shakespeare’s tragic king to life through dramatic and turbulent orchestral writing. Following this, Edward Elgar’s ‘Three Bavarian Dances’ evokes the colours, dances and landscapes of southern Germany, before Chaminade’s ‘Flute Concertino’, performed by Emma Phipps, closes the first half.
The concert concludes with Dvořák’s iconic Ninth Symphony, ‘From the New World’, blending his Czech musical heritage with the sounds and influences of America, before Walton’s ‘Crown Imperial’ concludes the program.
