CSO / FOAG Concert at Pershore Abbey on 19th June 2027
This evocative programme flows from vivid musical storytelling to virtuosic brilliance and profound symphonic depth…
Bedřich Smetana's Vltava opens the concert with one of the most beloved depictions of nature in music, tracing the journey of the river through Bohemia with sweeping lyricism and unforgettable themes.
The spotlight then turns to the orchestra's horn section in Robert Schumann's Konzertstück for Four Horns and Orchestra, a work of exhilarating energy and heroic character that showcases both brilliance and unity of ensemble.
After the interval, the evening culminates in the majestic intensity of Johannes Brahms's Symphony No. 4, a masterpiece of structural power and emotional depth, blending tragic undercurrents with sublime grandeur to bring the concert to a powerful and unforgettable close.
