Stevenage Symphony Orchestra, February 1982

The Stevenage Symphony Orchestra, under conductor Peter Wigfield, return to the Craig for their second major orchestral concert of the season on Saturday 13 February. Wagner’s overture to Die Meistersinger gets the evening off to a rousing start, and distinguished local pianists Cilla Dennis and John Humphreys join the orchestra for a complete change of mood, in Mozart’s celestial Concerto for 2 Pianos, in E flat major. After the interval comes just one work, Rachmaninov’s gloriously tuneful 2nd Symphony”.
