WelcomeWelcome to the website for the Exeter Symphony Orchestra. We perform a series of three concerts in the Exeter area each year, as well as other concerts locally.
Our Next ConcertSaturday 11th July 2009, 7.30 p.m. Summer Miscellany 
Introduction This summer’s concert is a real miscellany befitting a summer's evening. From Summer Scenes by Stuart Gill - an examining colleague of mine - through to Copland's Appalachian Spring we take a trip through music portraying scenes or telling stories. Pictures are represented by both description and in reality in that we also have popular pieces from Pirates of the Caribbean; The Mission, and also Lord of the Rings. Our soloist actually played in all the recording sessions for the film - 67 in all - and he is going to guest conduct them having given a brief resume of what it is like to be involved in such recordings. The largest work is Liszt’s Les Preludes - a musical setting of Lamartine’s poem Les Preludes. The film connection here is a tune of the most grandiose proportions heard by anyone who used to go to the early morning Saturday kids shows as the theme to? Answers on a postcard please!!
