English Symphony Orchestra, Great Malvern

Music lovers might be forgiven for mistaking composer Arnold Schoenberg for the ‘Big Bad Wolf” of classical music but in his 1899 Romantic tone poem, Verklärte Nacht (Transfigured Night), his music purrs as sweetly as a kitten. This lush and lyrical masterpiece crowns a night with the English String Orchestra also featuring beautiful and evocative works by Elgar and Thea Musgrave. Internationally renowned oboist, Nicholas Daniel, is the featured soloist.
