Vaughan Williams Job: A Masque for Dancing
In a performance of works by three prolific RCM alumni, Christopher Hirons and Jacques Cohen direct the RCM Junior Department Symphony and Chamber Orchestras in their final concert of the Autumn Season.
While Britten’s dazzling Variations on a Theme of Frank Bridge is a work full of flair and charm, Coleridge-Taylor’s Novelletten is modest and expertly crafted. Vaughan Williams’ ballet Job: A Masque for Dancing closes the performance, bursting with drama and complex emotion that reveals a less commonly heard side to the composer.
Please note all Junior Department concerts will go on sale on Wednesday 9 October.
