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
