The Enigma Variations never cease to fascinate, with their slow and beautiful melodies. It is no wonder that they are considered to be among the best classical works ever in the UK.
We also hear two British female pioneers in this evening’s concert. Doreen Carwithen was a prominent composer in the 40s and 50s and is known for her film music. Perhaps even more famous is Ethel Smyth, an activist at the beginning of the last century who wrote anthems for women’s suffrage.
This is a chance to experience the large and elegant musical trove from the country in the west.
As musicians move on to other assignments, new people have the chance to become familiar with the VÄGUS life, with rehearsals, camp weekends and tours of the region. Auditions are held each year. You are 14-23 years of age and have made solid progress in your musical development. Before your audition, it’s recommended attending one of the concerts.
