Hitchin Chamber Orchestra

A Childhood Suite comprises fourteen nursery rhymes arranged for jazz piano trio and string orchestra by Dominic Alldis.  Themes include Rock-a-bye Baby, London Bridge is Falling Down, Three Blind Mice and Frère Jacques.  There will be two performances at 2.30pm and 4.30pm.

"These sophisticated arrangements for string orchestra are finely crafted... London Bridge is Falling Down and Frère Jacques have a nimble elegance.  And as if to confirm that this really is for grown-ups, there are no vocals at all..." Jack Massarik, Evening Standard
