Royal Philharmonic Live in Leeds
This Saturday evening (24th October) at Leeds Town Hall experience the exceptional brass players and percussionists of the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. This dazzling programme will take you on a musical journey, from Granados’ charming ‘Spanish Dances’ and the bright fanfares of Italian composer Gabrieli, to the jazz-infused sounds of Duke Ellington and Jim Parker’s perfect musical evocation of the Big Apple. Celebrating great British works, we hear the music of Gustav Holst’s daughter, Imogen Holst, who made an enormous contribution to the country’s music, and a special arrangement of Elgar’s London-themed ‘Cockaigne Overture’.
