Event information

Butterworth On the Banks of Green Willow

Glière Harp Concerto in E flat major Op. 74 (Soloist Aisha Palmer)

Rautavaara Cantus Arcticus (Concerto for birds and orchestra)

Respighi The Birds (Gli Uccelli)

After months of being cooped up Enigma invites you to a musical celebration of freedom. We open with Butterworth’s beautiful lyrical idyll and homage to the beauty of the countryside: The Banks of Green Willow. We then showcase the ethereal harp with Glière’s glorious and luscious Harp Concerto featuring our soloist Aisha Palmer. After the interval we take flight first with the soaring Cantus Arcticus by Finnish composer Rautavaara taking us on a journey with migrating swans before Respighi’s The Birds brings us back full circle with his evocation of four different birds ending with the familiar sound of the countryside, the cuckoo.
