Britain’s most under-appreciated composer? Join Joe Davies (Conductor) and Lucy Britton (Soprano) for an exploration of George Butterworth, featuring his Shropshire Lad Rhapsody and the eponymous Song Cycle. Tragically killed in 1916 at the Battle of the Somme, Butterworth’s music represents a tribute to a lost generation, a moving testimony to the days lost by so many. Kaleidoscopic harmonies combine with glorious melodies in the music of one of Britain’s finest.

Join Peter Gulbis for a Cobweb performance as part of Middlesbrough Town Hall’s Classical Cafe series. Cobweb Billingham welcomes players on all instruments to join us for this event!
We have a 2-hour rehearsal, with the performance following on once the audience (‘Classical Cafe’) has assembled.
The 1-hour programme is deliberately audience-friendly and varied, and readily ‘learnable’ by folk joining us on the day. ‘Selection from South Pacific’ is centre stage, with movements from Handel, Mozart, Sullivan, Holst and Lloyd-Webber. A trio of carol arrangements (Hobbs/Kirby) start and finish the performance.
