LDSM Young Artists

LDSM has always enjoyed a fruitful partnership with this series of concerts in Hawkshead’s historic parish church, thought to have been built in 1500.

Mozart Divertimento in B flat, K137
Elgar Serenade for Strings
Robin Walker Double Concerto for Recorder and Violin Second performance
Schubert Rondo in A, D438
Tchaikovsky Serenade for Strings

“The [1812] overture will be very showy and noisy, but will have no artistic merit because I wrote it without warmth and without love. But the Serenade, on the contrary, I wrote from inner compulsion. This is a piece from the heart.” So wrote Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky, and his serenade is one of the great serenades in this popular programme of some of the greatest string orchestra repertoire.
