Laura Samuel, the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ SSO’s Leader directs this programme which opens with one of Mozart’s most familiar works, his last Serenade, the charming 'Eine kleine nachtmusik'. Soprano Claire Booth then sings 'Les illuminations', the song-cycle which Benjamin Britten made in 1939 of some of Rimbaud’s sensuous and flamboyant poems. The evening and the Series closes with Mozart’s enduringly popular ‘Jupiter’ Symphony, but before that an arrangement for string orchestra by Paul Hindmarsh of Frank Bridge’s delightful 'Three Idylls', originally composed for string quartet in 1906.
To be recorded for future broadcast on ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Radio 3. This concert is promoted by South Ayrshire Council by Ayr Arts Guild.
