One of the region’s best known and most admired non-professional orchestras, the Birmingham Philharmonic here takes its audience on a musical tour around late 19th/early 20th century Italy, kickstarting proceedings with two works by Giacomo Puccini: Capriccio Sinfonico and Intermezzo from Manon Lescaut. 

The two-hour concert also features the famous Easter Sunday scene from Pietro Mascagni’s Cavalleria Rusticana, Tchaikovsky’s Francesca da Rimini, and two compositions by Ottorino Respighi: Fountains Of Rome and Pines Of Rome. Jason Thornton conducts.
