The title of Serenade masks the depth of feeling to be found in the central slow movement of Elgar's intimate creation. Walton's Cello Concerto is full of Mediterranean warmth; music of vivid contrasts, languid, energetic and refreshingly unconventional in shape. Vaughan Williams completed his Forth Symphony just a few years short of World War II. It is an angry and intense work and speaks of unsettled times while also being a symphony of the utmost artistic integrity; a potent and invigorating work.

The Curios' album Hidden was one of the most highly rated of 2007, being nominated in the BBC Jazz Awards and reaching the Top 5 in the HMV & Radio 3 jazz charts. Cawley is an astonishing pianist, equally at home in the 'in your face' punk jazz of Acoustic Ladyland and in the music of the romantic classical composers, and the combination of his 'state of the art trio' (TimeOut) with Julie Sassoon's improvisations for piano and voice promises an evening of rare quality. |

The Concerto was slow to find favour; some critics finding it too long, too modern and even tuneless, although it has since become one of the best-loved concertos in the repertoire. Richard Strauss completed his gigantic orchestral tone poem Also sprach Zarathustra in 1896, basing it on Nietzsche’s great philosophical book of the same name. Strauss translates Nietzsche’s thoughts on religion, nature, humanity, love and learning into a sequence of extraordinary musical chapters, opening with the celebrated sunrise theme that was later used to powerful effect by Stanley Kubrick in his lavish ‘space odyssey’ To book tickets call the Royal Festival Hall Box Office at 0871 663 2500.

| 7.30pm St Mary le Bow Cheapside London EC2V 6AU United Kingdom Details: Web site £10 - advance box office tel. +44 (0)20 7916 1057 | La Batalla - French and Spanish choral music about battle and victory Orlando Chamber Choir James Weeks (director) Gavin Roberts (organ) Clément Janequin (1485 - 1558) - La guerre Tomás Luis de Victoria (1548 - 1611) - Missa pro Victoria Tomás Luis de Victoria (1548 - 1611) - Ave Maria a 8 Joan Cererols (1618 - 1680) - ¡Ay! que me muero Joan Cererols (1618 - 1680) - Suspended, cielos, vuestro dulce canto Orlando Chamber Choir will battle it out with a famous French song of battle, and win with a Spanish Mass for Victory. In the famous chanson La guerre by Clément Janequin (1485 - 1558) the choir imitates hectic sounds of battle including trumpet calls, cannon fire and cries of victory. The chanson inspired Spain's foremost Renaissance composer Tomás Luis de Victoria (1548 - 1611) to write his extravagant nine-part Missa pro Victoria - said to have been a favourite of the Spanish King Philip III, so our concert comes with royal recommendation. The programme also includes choral works by Juan Cererols and organ works by Antonio de Cabezón (1510 - 1566) and Sebastian Aguilera de Heredia (1565 - 1627). |
