Cardiff Philharmonic Orchestra
Michael Bell MBE - Conductor
Saturday 18th October, 7.30pm, Llandaff Cathedral
CPO opens the new season with one of the most spectacular of all orchestral works - Saint Saëns’ Organ Symphony, featuring the majestic Llandaff Cathedral organ in all its glory. Our soloist is Judith Pendrous, organist at St Mary’s Priory, Abergavenny.
The concert marks the 50th anniversary of the passing of Sir Arthur Bliss with a suite from his fantastic and dynamic ballet score ‘Checkmate’ (based on a game of chess!) and two pieces by Ravel, born 150 years ago. The Pavane is simply sublime and will sound luminous in the wonderful Cathedral ambience.

Programme:
Maurice Ravel - Alborada del Graciosa
Maurice Ravel - Pavane pour une infante défunte
Sir Arthur Bliss - Suite from the ballet Checkmate
Camille Saint-Saëns - Symphony No. 3 the "Organ Symphony"
