Iain Ledingham's Grand Farewell Concert

IAIN LEDINGHAM (conductor) CHARLOTTE EDWARDS (Leader) Symphony No 73 (La Chasse) HAYDN Romance FINZI Symphony No 6 (Pastoral) BEETHOVEN

As this will be Iain Ledingham’s final concert as Artistic Director of the Festival, he has chosen three of his favourite works for the occasion, all of which have a strong pastoral flavour. Haydn’s Symphony No73 (La Chasse) ends with exhilarating hunting music with joyful fanfares for horns and trumpets. Gerald Finzi’s Romance for String Orchestra is a superb example of his pastoral style. The main work is the wonderful and much-loved Beethoven’s Pastoral Symphony.
