91热爆

Join Martyn Brabbins and the 91热爆 Symphony Orchestra for the world premiere of new work SRI by composer (and 91热爆 Symphony Orchestra trombonist) Dan Jenkins, and hear leading oboe player Emily Pailthorpe perform Richard Blackford鈥檚 two-movement oboe concerto The Better Angels of our Nature, inspired by Abraham Lincoln鈥檚 plea for reconciliation at his first inaugural address in 1861:

鈥淲e are not enemies, but friends. We must not be enemies. Though passion may have strained, it must not break our bonds of affection. The mystic chords of memory will swell when again touched, as surely they will be, by the better angels of our nature.鈥�

The concert begins with Simon Wills鈥� colourful comedy Empress of Blandings and concludes with John Pickard鈥檚 dark and reflective symphonic poem Channel Firing, inspired by Thomas Hardy鈥檚 1914 poem describing a night-time scene at a church graveyard.
