About

Lancaster Arts welcomes The Hanover Band to Lancaster and the Great Hall for the very first time for a concert with some of the best period instrument specialists in Europe.

With a programme spanning the Baroque, Classical and Romantic eras, The Hanover Band’s 15 players will perform works for string orchestra by Mozart, Greig and Mendelssohn.

Directed by violinist Oliver Webber and played on instruments of the 18th and 19th century, the programme opens with Mozart’s famous Eine Kleine Nachtmusik, followed by Grieg’s Holberg Suite. Mendelssohn’s String Symphony, written when he was about 13 years old, is a piece brimming with youthful genius. The evening will conclude with a very special encore that you won’t want to miss!

Please join us for our Season Celebration in the Peter Scott Gallery at 5pm, followed by a conversation with Stephen Neiman on the future of orchestral music in the Great Hall at 6pm.
