From Salon to Symphony: Dance, Song & Sibelius
A performance that journeys from elegance to exhilaration. Saint-Saëns and Tchaikovsky bring dazzling dance and violin virtuosity, alongside the lyrical beauty of Alice Mary Smith’s clarinet Andante. The concert culminates in Sibelius’s Symphony No. 2 — a powerful, uplifting masterpiece that rises to a thrilling, triumphant finish.
Join us for a concert that moves from the refined intimacy of the salon to the exhilarating heights of the symphonic stage — an unforgettable arc of colour, drama, and emotion.
