Programme:

Prokofiev Romeo and Juliet Suite 2
Coleridge Taylor Ballade
Stravinsky Firebird Suite

Join Oxford Millennium Orchestra for a concert of fire, fury, and fantasy. Two iconic 20th-century ballets bookend the concert: Stravinsky's eternal 'Firebird' and Prokofiev's electric 'Romeo and Juliet'. Two pieces that challenged ballet forever, two pieces that shook the world. In a colouristic, climax-filled celebration, Coleridge-Taylor's 'Ballade' forms the centrepiece of a cataclysmic concert. Energy, excitement, and eccentricity define all three pieces: come for a night of emotionally-charged euphoria, celebrating a trinity of pieces that will live for eternity.
