Come and Play Strauss

Abergavenny Symphony Orchestra hosts a play day for amateur musicians exploring Strauss's An Alpine Symphony, conducted by Michael Bell MBE.

Abergavenny Symphony Orchestra's 2027 play day invites musicians to explore Richard Strauss's An Alpine Symphony, a tone poem depicting a day's journey up and down an Alpine mountain. The day runs in two sessions, 10am–1pm and 2pm–4.30pm, each with a break, and finishes with a play-through open to friends and family. Non-members are welcome to join, with a minimum recommended standard of Grade 6 for strings and Grade 8 for wind and brass. Refreshments are provided, with a buffet lunch available to order in advance.
