A perfect programme for a Summer afternoon in the wonderful acoustics of St Nicholas Chapel showcasing Harp, Flute and Trumpet. We are delighted to welcome back the superb harpist, Alexander Rider, who has performed within the orchestra many times. Alex will be joined by Anna Hopkins, our principal flute, for the Mozart concerto.
Iain Laing then joins us to perform Haydn's ever popular trumpet concerto.
Following an interlude from the NSO wind section, our Season is brought to a close with Alex returning to the stage to perform with the orchestra the utterly beautiful
Morceau de Concert.
