Open University Orchestra

This concert features three contrasting works: one very familiar – Rossini’s William Tell overture; one that may be – Arnold’s Dance Set No 2 used for tv and radio theme tunes; and finally a work whose familiar theme Brahms turns into an orchestral masterpiece in his St Anthony Variations. This promises to be an hour of wonderful orchestral music.

The Open University Orchestra is an amateur orchestra, based at the Open University, Milton Keynes.
