SUK Serenade for Strings

FINZI Let Us Garlands Bring

GRIEG  Two Elegiac Melodies

SCHUBERT Two Songs (arr. Banney)

​

In an homage to the Camerata's first recording, now ten years ago, Christopher Allan joins the orchestra in Finzi's beautiful song cycle, Let Us Garlands Bring. The concert ends with Suk's brilliant Serenade for Strings, a brilliant work that owes much to the influence and guidance of Dvorak, his teacher and future father-in-law. And we begin with Grieg's delightful Elegiac melodies, works that bring the richest possible sounds from any string orchestra.
