A musical evening brought together the
Isle Of Axholme Orchestra on the South Bank and the Priory Park Singers
on the North Bank of the Humber to perform a wonderful programme of music:-
'A
RUSSIAN SPECTACULAR'.
The programme featured Sheherazade, by Rimsky-Korsakov performed by the Orchestra under their
Conductor Alan Edgar and they were joined by members of the
Priory Park Singers to perform Borodin's Polovtsian Dances. The Choir
under the Musical Direction of David Scotney and
accompanied by Leslie Burtenshaw sang Kalinka, The
Russian Contakion of the Departed and Moscow Nights, which is well known
to us as Midnight in Moscow. The Ladies of the choir sang Legend
(Once, long ago in Nazareth) and the Men sang the Song of the Volga
Boatmen.
The Orchestra and Choir were
joined by the very accomplished and well known solo pianist Isobel
Paris who played the Scriabin Piano Concerto.
The concert was held at the
John Leggott College, Scunthorpe,
on Thursday 25th November 2010.
