RCMJD Sinfonia

Arnold Peterloo Overture op 97
Tchaikovsky Marche slave op 31

Themes of war and peace are threaded through the works in this concert given by the Royal College of Music Junior Department Sinfonia.

While Arnold’s Peterloo Overture portrays the events of the ’Peterloo’ incident in Manchester in 1819, lamenting those lost and injured but ultimately ending in triumph, Tchaikovsky’s Marche slave depicts tales of Russia’s stand in the Serbian-Ottoman War, using both Serbian and Russian folk songs to represent the oppression and victory of the Slavonic people.

Please note all Junior Department concerts will go on sale on Wednesday 9 October.
