Robert Hodge conductor
RCMJD Sinfonia

Programme to include:
厂耻辫辫茅 Overture from Poet and Peasant
Arnold (arr Palmer) Suite from The Inn of the Sixth Happiness

Set in the picturesque mountains of Bavaria, Poet and Peasant follows the journey of a poet, with 厂耻辫辫茅鈥檚 scenic overture conjuring the sense of romance and adventure with earnest melodies and excitable dances.

Also on the programme is RCM alumnus Malcolm Arnold鈥檚 Suite from The Inn of the Sixth Happiness, written for the 1958 film based on the story of Gladys Aylward, a British missionary woman in China. Arnold鈥檚 sweeping Hollywoodesque score is rich and melodic, reflecting the bittersweet narrative.

All RCMJD concerts will go on sale from 8 October
