This event is now in the past
Fantasia is delighted to return to Newbury Spring Festival in 2025 with a Classical programme featuring music by Gluck, Mozart and Haydn: Torment and Tranquility.
Both halves open with arresting passion. Gluck's Dance of the Furies from his opera Orpheus and Euridice is a high-octane frenzy, and Haydn's F minor Symphony no. 49 'La Passione' is typical of the Sturm und Drang (Storm and Stress) style of writing from the period.
Contrasting these stormy scenes are two sunny and tranquil works by Mozart. His Horn Concerto no. 4 is melodious and ever-popular, and the A major Symphony, no. 29, is charming, spirited, and abounding in spring-tide optimism.
Horn player Zoë Tweed, frequent member of Fantasia Orchestra, will be the soloist in Mozart's remarkable concerto.
