Other highlights:
Behold the Sea - Cleveland Philharmonic Orchestra - The official Tall Ships Concert:
The programme opens with atmospheric orchestra music evocative of England’s North Sea and its coastal communities – the Sea Interludes from Benjamin Britten’s opera Peter Grimes.
This is followed by Elgar’s Sea Pictures, a group of songs about the sea in all its moods. The poems range from the nocturnal calmness of Sea Slumber Song, through the best known Where Corals Lie to the wild storminess of The Swimmer.
