Formerly East of England Orchestra. This special programme commemorates the onset of World War I with a composition by James Redwood with choreography by Tom Dale. Dark Clouds are Smouldering into Red tells the story of a young couple torn apart by conflict and explores the themes of separation, loss and social upheaval. George Butterworth's Two English Idylls were composed in 1910-11, poignant reminders of his promise as a composer killed in action in the battle of the Somme in 1916.
