Belgrade Strings, February 1982

“The Belgrade Strings, under director Alexander Pavlovic, delighted a Stevenage audience on their last tour of the UK two years ago, and we are proud to welcome them back on Sunday 28 February. A generous programme includes Purcell’s Suite from The Fairy Queen, Debussy’s Danses (in which virtuoso harpist Susan Drake joins the orchestra as soloist), Mozart’s enchanting Eine kleine Nachtmusik and Lutoslawski’s exciting Preludes and Fugue for Strings, as well as Mendelssohn’s youthful D minor Violin Concerto (in which the soloist is leader Nenad Daleore) and Yugoslav composer Dejan Despic’s attractive Recitative and Passacaglia for Cello and Strings, featuring Istvan Varga”.
