Acknowledge Britain’s Exit From the EU at Radiant-Bellevue
Three Centuries of Music
Lyon’s orchestra will play music spanning a massive three centuries. The music includes pieces with traditional melancholy, an arrangement of one of Britain’s best known pieces, and four songs in the style of London’s musical comedies.
A Brass Affair
It is the brass and percussion sections of Lyon’s orchestra who will be performing some of Britain’s greatest songs, on the evening named ‘Brass Save the Queen’.
The programme includes:
– Georg Friedrich Handel’s ‘The Arrival of the Queen of Sheba’ – 3 min
– ‘Greensleeves’ (arr. Elgar Howarth) – 5 min
– Gordon Langford’s ‘London Miniatures’ – 15 min
– Edward Elgar’s ‘Nimrod’ from his ‘Enigma variations’’ – 5 min
Chris Hazell’s ‘Three Brass Cats’ and ‘Kraken’ – 14 min
Mark the Leaving of the EU
The United Kingdom officially leaves the European Union on the 29th March. It is in celebration, or commiseration, of this event that Lyon’s orchestra will be performing on 17th March 2019.
