Autumn Classics – 7:30 19 Nov 2011

Vaughan Williams

Five Mystical Songs

Tchaikovsky

Symphony No 4

Strauss

Die Fledermaus Overture

A concert of melodic and lyrical beauty, full of musical fireworks! Vaughan Williams’ glorious setting for baritone soloist, choir and orchestra of the simple words by the 17th-Century metaphysical poet George Herbert is spiritual, moving and triumphant. This is followed by one of Tchaikovsky’s most famous, emotionally urgent and exhilarating symphonies.

Under conductor Russell Keable, the University of Surrey Symphony Orchestra and Choir continue to provide a wide range of repertoire, giving concerts that really explore symphonic structures and sounds.

Tonight’s programme is particularly appropriate for the clear acoustic of St Saviour’s Church.

Tickets: £12; £10 senior citizens, University staff; £7 students, concessions

Chamber Choir and Orchestra – 7:30 11 Nov 2011

Haydn – Nelson Mass

The Chamber Choir and Orchestra comprises students from Music and Sound Recording, and under the direction of conductor Russell Keable, they have established a reputation for sensitive yet invigorating performances.
