Barber Adagio and Vaughan Williams Oboe Concerto // 12 July

Enjoy an exquisite concert for strings and oboe, performed by one of the finest ensembles in the UK.  Red Note Ensemble will perform Barber’s Adagio, voted as one of the most popular pieces of music ever written.  It has featured in many films including The Elephant Man (David Lynch) and Platoon (Oliver Stone).  This beautiful work will be joined by Vaughan Williams’ Oboe Concerto; a quintessential English pastoral piece.

Commemorating WW1, these great works will be joined by Judith Bingham’s Oboe Concerto: The Angel of Mons which sets the legend that a group of angels guided the British Army to safety at the outset of war.
