Devon Philharmonic Orchestra | a few favourite things

Devon Philharmonic Orchestra returns to Exeter Cathedral under the baton of Benjamin Voce.  The evening offers a programme of their departing leader’s, Clare Smith, favourite pieces and features Shostakovich’s Symphony No. 5, a monumental work of resistance to a crushing dictatorship, Verdi’s rousing Overture to La Forza del Destino and Vaughan William’s atmospheric Fantasia on a theme of Thomas Tallis.

There will be a retiring collection in aid of BASICS Devon, a volunteer-driven charity dedicated to providing 24/7 pre-hospital emergency care across one of the UK’s most rural counties.

Tickets for the concert are on sale now priced at £20, £17, £15 and £13 (students £8.50, £7.50 and £6.50 and under 16s £5) and are available from Ticketsource or by linking through from the orchestra’s site.
