For the second concert of the 2009 Credit Suisse Series, the Guernsey Symphony Orchestra presents "A Danube Odyssey".
Take a cruise down the Danube and enjoy music from the 'Waltz King' himself - Johann Strauss. Other composers who lived in close proximity to this great river are also featured in this concert with Liszt's Hungarian Rhapsody No. 6 containing the 'lasson' and 'friska' much loved by Bohemian gypsy bands and the beautifully scored and light-hearted 'Scherzo Fantastique' by Josef Suk.

Making her debut with the Guernsey Symphony Orchestra is soprano Sally Harrison who will perform two favourite operatic arias: Rusalka's 'Song to the Moon' and 'Vilia' from 'The Merry Widow'. Sally has sung with the Scottish and English National Opera and has appeared on BBC Radio 2 in Friday Night is Music Night. |
