Sarah Lianne Lewis Creatures of Dust and Dreams
Peter Maxwell Davies Orkney Wedding, with Sunrise -
Ralph Vaughan Williams A London Symphony
Memory, identity and connection shape this NYOS showcase of British orchestral voices, featuring works by Peter Maxwell Davies and Vaughan Williams.
Experience the tender portrait of humankind painted by Sarah Lianne Lewis' Creatures of Dust and Dreams, followed by Orkney Wedding, with Sunrise, a convivial celebration of rural Scottish communities which culminates in a radiant bagpipe solo. Don't miss the orchestra's performance of Vaughan Williams' metropolitan masterpiece, A London Symphony.

Anyone new to Orkney Wedding, with Sunrise and A London Symphony will immediately be struck by each composer’s ability to transport you to a place, time and occasion. I haven’t been to Hoy on Orkney, yet having conducted Peter Maxwell Davies’ music I feel I know it intimately. I do know London (my mother is an authentic Cockney), but Vaughan Williams’ symphony takes us back to London circa 1914 and so immerses us in the sights and sounds of the time.
Grant Llewellyn, conductor
