NYOS Symphony Orchestra return to Edinburgh International Festival 2018

$I this short film we see and hear NYOS Symphony Orchestra conducted by Tecwyn Evans, perform \'Largo\' from Dvorak\'s grand masterpiece, his ninth Symphony, the New World. The haunting, yet delicate cor anglais solo is performed by Caitlin Heathcote. The film was captured, in part, to mark our continued involvement with the BBC Ten Pieces Initiative, which aims to open up the world of classical music to 7-14 year-olds across the UK and inspire them to develop their own creative responses to the music. This performance takes place at the beautiful Usher Hall in Edinburgh and forms part of the Symphony Orchestra\'s 2017 spring tour. http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p04pc0j8$
