Our first-year string students bring their energy and passion to a rich and varied programme traversing a broad catalogue of music that moves seamlessly from Vivaldi to Frank Sinatra, alongside dancers from Company Chameleon. The performance opens with Vivaldi?s Sinfonia No 3 in G major, staying true to its original role as an overture and setting the tone with its colourful textures, rhythmic liveliness, and joyful exuberance. The journey then unfolds through an eclectic mix of pieces, including a string arrangement of Caroline Shaw?s and the swallow, inspired by Psalm 84 and beautifully depicting a bird?s search for a place of safety. Along the way, a tango-inspired work by is vividly brought to life through expressive choreography by Company Chameleon before a dynamic and uplifting rendition of Let?s Face the Music and Dance, made famous by Frank Sinatra. The RNCM Strings Festival celebrates the sheer versatility, beauty, and brilliance of string music across a range of concerts and programmes. Our students, staff, and guest artists will be performing side-by-side throughout the festival, captivating listeners and embodying learning at its highest level.
