The Durham University Orchestral Society Chamber Orchestra arrive at Durham Town Hall to present a programme of narrative intensity, serene lyricism and symphonic brilliance, including Beethoven's iconic 7th Symphony, Copland's Appalachian Spring ballet, as well as Emilie Mayer's overture to the iconic Faust legend.

The Orchestral Societies Chamber Orchestras programme opens with Emilie Mayer's Overture to Faust, a boldly dramatic overture that plunges into the supernatural energy and emotional tension of the Faust legend. The concert continues with one of Copland's famous ballets, Appalachian Spring. Including the famous Lord of the Dance, this American staple paints a portrait of tenderness and lyricism, reflecting new beginnings. The concert culminates with Beethoven's iconic Seventh Symphony, a symphony of unstoppable rhythm and jubilant energy, often described as Beethoven’s ‘apotheosis of the dance," closing the programme in triumphant spirit.  Each piece explores transformation - Mayer’s overture through dramatic turmoil, Copland through pastoral rebirth, and Beethoven through sheer rhythmic propulsion.

Julius Caesar, one of Shakespeare's most famous tragedies, navigates conspiracy, tyranny and morality - and the death and violence that follows it.

DUCT presents Shakespeare's infamous tragedy, 'Julius Caesar.' After Caesar's victorious return from war, his growing ambition begins to invoke fear and suspicion from those around him. Conspiracy grows, and as the shadows grow longer, alliances, betrayals and death flicker in the moonlight.

Presented against the backdrop of 1970's outlaw culture, 'Julius Caesar' questions morality, honour and the cost of violence - raising an important question: Who can you really trust?
