Arts Award on Voice

This year alone I have watched SO MANY films, I have seen some amazing films and some not so amazing films, but the ones I have been most excited to watch are obviously Christmas films!

Another year has gone by, and whilst to many, it has been a tumultuous one, it has been yet another 12 months of growth & success Arts Award. Here are our highlights of a year of Arts Award. 

Christmas is my favourite time of year. However, I personally prefer the run up to Christmas than the actual day because once the day is here everything seems to be over and done with so quickly.

The CRSO's last programme of the season encompasses the twin themes of love and vibrant orchestral colours. The concert includes - by popular request - CRSO Associate Composer Jacob Bride's 2017 revision of the engaging Folk Rhapsody No.2 which the CRSO premiered in 2015, and a favourite work of CRSO members; Ravel's Boléro. What a brilliant way to end the orchestra's 2017-18 season!

This concert is part of the CRSO's Arts Award Supporter offer for activities at the Discover, Explore, Bronze and Silver award levels.

The CRSO's British programme begins and ends with favourites by Vaughan-Williams and Elgar. The orchestra is joined by the outstanding pianist Meng Yang Pan for John Ireland's beautiful Piano Concerto, and the programme is completed by a powerful work by Oxford-based composer Robert Saxton

Join the CRSO for an exciting programme of American classics, ranging from Copland's famous Fanfare to the Common Man to John Williams's exhilarating score for Steven Spielberg's 1982 film "E.T. The Extra Terrestrial". John Adams's brilliant Short Ride in a Fast Machine is part of the BBC's "Ten Pieces" project, and is paired with Adams's highly entertaining Lollapalooza. We could not, of course, present an American programme without some wonderful works by Gershwin; the ever-popular Rhapsody in Blue and colourful An American in Paris complete a thrilling programme.
