From the vast plains of North America to the icy tundra of the Arctic, this Hastings Music Society showcase promises a spectacular and varied programme inspired by Robert Buckley’s ‘Portraits of the North’ Symphony.
Featuring the Symphony’s 3rd movement ‘Iditarod,’ the band will take you on an exhilarating musical dog sled race through Alaska, complemented with several new works including whitewater rafting down ‘Rogue River’ by Ralph Ford, the galactic ‘Orbital’ by Adrian Sims, the Scottish grand ballad ‘Perthshire Majesty’ by Samuel Hazo and the eerie sub-zero wilderness of ‘Tundra’ by William Owens.
There are also some old favourites on the programme like Shostakovich’s ‘Folk Dances,’ the traditional, toe-tapping ‘Irish Washerwoman’ and the legendary train journey of the ‘Wabash Cannonball’ in which the band get to show off their brand new train whistle!
Only $5 on the door, free for children and Hastings Music Society members.
We look forward to seeing you there!
