Claude Debussy La mer

In spring, NYOS sets sail on a musical voyage from gently gleaming, dawn-lit waters to the thunderous power of the open sea.

Debussy’s La mer and Britten’s Four Sea Interludes provide a thrilling display, with every section of the orchestra contributing its own colours and textures to a vast musical canvas. Led by conductor Ellie Slorach, whose recent work with the RSNO and Royal Northern Sinfonia has attracted critical acclaim, the programme also celebrates exciting contemporary orchestral voices, with music by Jon Hargreaves, Salina Fisher and Grace-Evangeline Mason.
