Settle Orchestra’s Autumn Concert

Conductor Harry Lai has chosen an engaging and varied programme including symphonies by Haydn (number 103, the “Drum Roll”), Tchaikovsky (number 5) and Schubert (the rarely played number 3).  Another comparative rarity will be Dvorak’s darkly haunting tone poem “The Noonday Witch”.  The season also features concertos by two present or past younger members of the orchestra, Ellen Buller (flute) and Ewan Hudson (horn), in line with our policy of encouraging young musicians.

We always welcome applications to join the orchestra, especially from younger players and from string and brass players.  We would also be very interested to hear from any composers who would like to write music for the orchestra.

We give two concerts each term, one in Settle and one in Skipton.  The Autumn Concert dates are 23 (Settle) and 30 (Skipton) November 2024.  Full details are on our website, http://www.settleorchestra.org.uk/.   Do please come and support us and keep music live in the Dales!
