London Concertante present ‘VIENNESE CHRISTMAS by Candlelight’ at Derby Cathedral

Friday 29th November 2019

7.30pm (doors 6.45pm)

Touring their ever-popular festive programme, London Concertante travel the length and breadth of the country presenting treats from across Europe to get you in the mood for mulled wine, mince pies, and baubles.

Programme:

Strauss – Die Fledermaus Overture
Tchaikovsky – Nutcracker Suite
Strauss – Trisch-trasch polka
Tchaikovsky – Waltz from Sleeping Beauty
Brahms – Hungarian Dance No. 5
Schubert – Rondo for Violin & Strings
Strauss – Blue Danube Waltz

Tchaikovsky’s elegant Nutcracker Suite leads on from Brahms’ serious Hungarian Dance No.5, before Strauss II introduces us to the boundless exuberance of the Polish March in his Trisch-Trasch Polka. In the concert’s penultimate work Tchaikovsky transports the evening to the magical halls of snowy Tsarist Russia with a regal waltz from his ballet Sleeping Beauty. The evening reaches its climax with the famous Blue Danube Waltz, not only proving the crowning jewel of a fabulous night’s worth of music, but the coronation of Johann Strauss II as the master of the Viennese waltz!

Tickets priced at £29/£25/£19 available from Ticketsource.co.uk
