Marlborough Concert Orchestra

Autumn Concert

Saturday 2nd December 2023, 7:30 pm

St Mary’s Church, Marlborough

Conductor: Philip Singleton

Sibelius:
Finlandia

Philip Singleton:
Earthrise

Philip explains... The inspiration comes from last year’s "Artemis I" moon mission, and more specifically the moment when the Orion capsule cleared the far side of the moon, and the Earth came into view. Watching live I found it a profoundly affecting moment - everything we know viewed in an instant, as though a single point in space, from far away. I hope that the piece will express some of this…

Leroy Anderson:
A Christmas Festival

Sibelius:

Symphony No.2 in D Major
