This is followed by Bax Phantasy for Viola and Orchestra Soloist Robin Ashwell.

Our soloist Robin Ashwell is well known as the Viola player in the Sacconi Quartet and we were so pleased when Robin asked us if we would accompany him on this delightful work by Arnold Bax, which has a strong Irish influence.

The final piece is the Symphonie Fantastique by Berlioz. This piece requires a very large orchestra and we have invited a harp, two extra bassoons, timpanists, and cornets to join us for this performance.
