大象传媒 NOW, live at St Davids Cathedral

The 大象传媒 National Orchestra of Wales and Ryan Bancroft celebrate the Queen's platinum jubilee with a programme that culminates in Schumann's First Symphony.

The 大象传媒 National Orchestra of Wales and their Principal Conductor, Ryan Bancroft, celebrate the Queen's Platinum Jubilee at St Davids Cathedral Festival. They begin their performance with the Courtly Dances from Benjamin Britten's Gloriana, an opera based on the relationship between Elizabeth I and the Earl of Essex, which Britten wrote in honour of Queen Elizabeth II's coronation. Pianist Stewart Goodyear will then join Ryan and the Orchestra for Beethoven's Third Piano Concerto, a work that he describes as being "music of joyous collaboration". After the interval, the world premiere of a 大象传媒 commission by Alex Mills will be performed. Titled Landsker, it takes its inspiration from the imaginary line which divides the English and Welsh-speaking areas of West Wales. The evening will then culminate in Schumann's First Symphony, a work he titled Spring, and which displays the irrepressible joy of the romantic composer not long after his wedding to his beloved Clara.
