Felix Mendelssohn - Overture, A Midsummer Night's Dream
Benjamin Britten - Serenade for Tenor, Horn and Strings
Johannes Brahms - Symphony No. 2 in D, Op. 73
Conductor:
Quentin Clare

Featuring:
David Watkin-Holmes, Tenor
Naomi Atherton, Horn

Britten's Serenade, in all but name a love letter from Britten to his life partner Peter Pears, explores iconic poetry on the subject of sleep by Tennyson, Blake, Johnson and Keats. It forms the central piece in this concert which also features Mendelssohn's early, sprightly overture based on Shakespeare's  A Midsummer Night's Dream​, and is complemented by Brahms' sunny second symphony. Brahms uses his own Wiegenlied (Cradle Song) as the main theme of the first movement.
