THE EASTERN EUROPEAN

Stephen Bell, Conductor – David Leech, Leader

Embark on a captivating journey through the rich tapestry of Eastern European musical traditions with the Market Harborough Orchestra in our much-anticipated concert, “The Eastern European.” Revel in the spirited rhythms and atmospheric folk influences of Spindiaryan’s Crimean Sketches, a vibrant celebration of the Crimean peninsula’s cultural vitality. Experience the evocative charm of Bartók’s Romanian Dances, where each note paints a vivid picture of the Romanian landscape and its lively folk traditions. Dive into the majestic flow of Smetana’s Vltava (The Moldau), as the orchestra brings to life the picturesque scenes along the iconic river. Capping the evening is Kalinnikov’s Symphony No. 1, a symphonic gem that unfolds with lush melodies and profound emotion.
