We plan to play Mahler: Symphony no. 2
The conductor will be Martin Budgett.
Notes: Are we over-reaching ourselves?On Saturday 22 May 2027 at Ripon Cathedral, Martin Budgett will conduct this Symphony in its entirety as a fundraising event for Cancer Research- Westmorland Orchestra's Summer Session on 8 July will launch the preparations for that event - enquire further if you would like to be involved next year, playing or singing.
- We will aim to play movements 1,2, 3 and 5 to figure 21 plus figure 39 end - avoiding the bits which require all the extra orchestra forces, choir, off-stage contributions etc.
