We take great pleasure in inviting you to the second concert in our concert series – Tangerine, celebrating the colour orange in music. A symbol of exuberance, resistance and brilliant sunrises, the colour orange has moved composers and songwriters through the ages to write some of their most striking music. Join us as we explore a wide array of music from the Dutch House of Orange to the Ukrainian Orange Revolution, and from cheeky Irish folksongs to the Beach Boys’ quirky take on ‘healthy’ orange vegetables.
