Snape Concert: A Preview
So, on Tuesday 29th April Ipswich School will take over Snape Maltings Concert Hall for the day. It promises to be a musical treat, with the major work this year being Bernstein’s Chichester Psalms. Add to that two commissioned works from Ipswich School Music Scholars (including myself), the first movement from Schubert’s Unfinished Symphony and the ever-popular Big Band and you can’t wait. I’ll be posting a review on Wednesday, but to whet your appetite, here’s the programme in full:
