Indra Hughes brings a personal approach to Summer Sonic with a strong West Auckland thread, where this Lancashire lad now lives.
A superb performance of Bach’s famous Chaconne, we hear some very new music by Indra’s near neighbour, the west Auckland composer Peter Hobbs. We travel on a musical tour of Lancashire and hear about Indra’s old friend, the king of British light music, Ernest Tomlinson. There’s a little gem from Thomas Arne (the composer of Rule Brittannia) and Mozart’s most famous piano concerto movement is tucked in as well.
