Fantasia Orchestra returns to Proms at St Jude's, collaborating with the world's premier solo percussionist: Dame Evelyn Glennie.
Always a highlight of Fantasia's season, this year's appearance at Proms at St Jude's opens the festival. At the centre of the programme are two percussion concertos - by Vivaldi (arranged for solo marimba) and Duddell.
The second half features two highlights of the Romantic repertoire: Puccini's Crisantemi and Tchaikovsky's Souvenir de Florence. Tchaikovsky's enduring piece is abundant in melody and drama, and culminates with a thrilling close.
Evelyn Glennie is the world's premier solo percussionist, a double GRAMMY winner, BAFTA nominee, and recipient of the Companion of Honour.
