ѿý Concert Orchestra

Orchestral family favourites from Britten to Saint-Saens, Debussy and Chaminade with the ѿý Concert Orchestra under Principal Conductor Bramwell Tovey. Presented by Kate Molleson.

Orchestral family favourites from the ѿý Concert Orchestra and Principal Conductor Bramwell Tovey, recorded at Redbridge Town Hall. Opening the concert, Britten’s Young Person’s Guide to the Orchestra is a great introduction to the magic of classical music, while Saint-Saens’ Danse macabre is instantly recognisable from its use as a TV theme tune. Celebrating their connection to Redbridge, Bramwell Tovey conducts his local school friend Roderick Elms’ piece Cygncopations, and the programme ends with Gordon Jacob’s Redbridge Variations.
