Matinee Series 2 – Roam

Open your ears and be transported to the English countryside. Violins conjure a breeze that weaves through the trees and rustles grassy meadows in Butterworth’s poetic A Shropshire Lad. Then traverse land and sea to reach Mendelssohn’s splendid Italian symphony. You’ll hear a zest for life in his music, which captures all the wonder of a young composer trekking away from his hometown to discover the marvels of Europe.
