| Event Name: | The Drawing Room Orchestra |
| Description: | Following the success of their sell-out performance in 2009 of the Tchaikovsky Fourth Symphony in the stunning arrangement by his pupil, Taneyev, Karl and David return to perform his even more emotionally charged Fifth, again at just one piano, and partner it with Debussy’s own arrangement of La Mer, written during his stay at The Grand Hotel in Eastbourne. A very rare opportunity to hear two such great symphonic works in the most intimate surroundings.
