The wonderful Mozart Symphony 41 will be a highlight, with the exciting Stravinsky Danse Infernale providing a complete contrast. Add to this some gorgeous Barber, more Mozart and Dvorak favourites and an added surprise of a groovy composition by conductor Edward McNight and it will be a great afternoon of music making.
