Exeter Symphony Orchestra's Winter Concert takes place on Saturday December 2, 2023 in the United Reformed Church Southernhay at 7.30pm.
The concert will open in lively fashion with the Overture to Die Fledermaus (Opus 362) by Johann Strauss II. The rather unlikely storyline of the operetta itself centres on a bat costume, a drunken prank, and some light-hearted revenge-taking, but there’s no disguising the wonderful tunes which emerge.
We’re delighted to be playing the Swan Lake Suite - a collection of six numbers encapsulating the story of one of the most popular ballets featuring a young girl who has been turned into a swan by an evil sorcerer’s curse and the prince who falls in love with her.
The Symphony in D minor (Opus 48) by César Franck is the composer’s best-known orchestral work. its inherent tunefulness has sufficed to keep it firmly in the concert hall repertoire since the 1899 premiere.
