SUMMARY:Mendelssohn's Italian Symphony
DESCRIPTION:APO UNWRAP THE MUSIC SERIES\nMendelssohn Symphony No.4 Italian\nConductor/Presenter Richard Gill \nThis symphony was once described as ‘blue sky in A major’ – a description that can’t be bettered. How does Mendelssohn so perfectly translate the warmth of the southern sun into music? It’s all in the details of the orchestration\, just waiting to be unpicked by Richard Gill. \nThe ebullient music educator/conductor Richard Gill joins the orchestra again to ‘unwrap’ this great orchestral work and reveal what makes it so special. \nPart concert\, part interactive talk\, each Unwrap the Music is guaranteed to take your musical appreciation to the next level. This entertaining event is great for all ages\, whether you are a seasoned concertgoer or new to orchestral music.
