Join the Drury Symphony Orchestra for an immaculate evening as the Drury Symphony Orchestra of London explores hidden treasures of repertoire from the romantic era. The orchestra is joined by pianist Clíodna Shanahan for what's sure to be a dazzling interpretation of Clara Schumann's piano concerto in A minor. James Ross also directs the orchestra in rare gems by Berwald and Tchaikovsky, as well as a lovely orchestration of Liszt's ever-popular Liebesträume ("Dreams of Love") no. 3, known to many as a charming work which is often performed at weddings and romantic gatherings.
