Our next concert has a strong French flavour. It begins with the colourful and exciting symphonic poem by the French composer Paul Dukas inspired by Goethe's ballad of the same name, The Sorcerer's Apprentice. This is followed by Suite no.2 of orchestral music from Bizet's Carmen, which was put together after the composer's death by Ernest Guiraud and largely features the famous arias. The final piece is Saint-Saens Symphony no.3, a work written at the height of his creativity, which makes unusual use of piano and organ as part of the orchestral texture. Tickets are £8.50 for adults and only £2.50 for children of school age and students. They are available on the door, from the Secretary on 01227 751196, and online through WeGotTickets by clicking on the button below..
