No one can accentuate the various colours of the saxophone like Amy Dickson. This multi award-winning performer is renowned for her silky and delectable tone. In this concert she brings her artistry to Matthew Hindson’s dazzling new Saxophone Concerto.
Colours of a different kind swirl about in Ravel’s ballet score Mother Goose (Ma mère l’oye), which evokes the charming world of children’s fairy tales. Sleeping Beauty, Tom Thumb and the most magical of fairy gardens all come to life in Ravel’s miraculous score.

His Prague Symphony is by turns joyous, majestic and reflective. Classic Mozart, in other words.
