,Milton Court Concert Hall

We are sorry to announce that this performance has been cancelled.

The musicians of Junior Guildhall return to Milton Court for an afternoon concert in collaboration with the School’s Production Arts department and Junior Guildhall Drama students.

Vaughan Williams’ Symphony No 3, the Pastoral, was competed in 1922 and gained a reputation for being an elegy for the dead of World War I and a meditation on the sounds of peace. The piece is not programmatic but, imbued with modal harmonies, it evokes the beautiful rolling English countryside.
 
Written in an epic style, Ibert’s Le chevalier errant (“the wandering knight”) is a representation of Don Quixote in which Ibert portrays the adventures he lives so intensely.
