Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Ellie Slorach - Liverpool Philharmonic Hall
Program Info: Vaughan Williams - Old King Cole Benjamin Britten - The Young Person's Guide to the orchestra, opus 34 (composed in 1946 to accompany an educational film produced by the British government and featured in the Oscar-nominated film Moonlight Kingdom) Frederick Delius - On Hearing the First Cuckoo in Spring and Summer Night on the River Joanna Marsh - Plastic Theatre (Liverpool Philharmonic commission in consortium with youth choirs from Denmark, Norway, Peru, Australia and USA)
Few composers have ever written a piece for young people (aged 5 to 105) that’s as fabulous, as fun and as thrillingly colourful as Britten’s The Young Person’s Guide to the Orchestra. Great music belongs to all ages, whether it’s a playful Vaughan Williams ballet or Delius’ gorgeous musical daydreams. So today we’re also proud to present the latest in our hugely successful series of commissions for our terrific Youth Choirs and Orchestra, composed by Joanna Marsh and conducted by Ellie Slorach.
