Special work gets an airing

A SPECIALLY-commissioned piece by composer Joseph Phibbs is on the programme for an Orchestra of the Swan concert at Cheltenham's Pittville Pump Room next week.

Conductor David Curtis and violinist David Le Page are heading the orchestra for the Orchestral Concert Series event on Tuesday.

Phibbs was commissioned to write a piece for last year's Cheltenham International Festival of Music, which was premiered and performed by the BBC Symphony Orchestra.

This concert will see his work contrasted with Britten's Sinfonietta, Vaughan Williams' Lark Ascending and Tippett's Divertimento on Sellinger's Round.
