Join the Westmorland Orchestra for an inspiring evening of orchestral music, led by conductor Melvin Tay.The concert begins with Arvo Pärt’s Cantus in Memoriam Benjamin Britten — a deeply moving piece that unfolds slowly, like the tolling of a distant bell. Calm, reflective, and beautiful, it draws listeners into a world of quiet intensity.
Next comes Grażyna Bacewicz’s Symphony No. 3, full of energy, colour, and strong rhythms. Written in post-war Poland, the music is lively and direct, combining drive and emotion in a way that feels immediate and engaging.
The evening closes with Jean Sibelius’s Symphony No. 3, a graceful and confident work that feels clear, balanced, and uplifting. It marks a fresh direction in Sibelius’s music, where simplicity and strength go hand in hand.
Three composers. Three musical worlds. One memorable concert!
