Local musician and composer\, Julian Breeze has arranged the Star Wars Suite which the Orchestra is delighted to perform again. Leave your Lightsaber ™ at home and sit back and enjoy this wonderful music. \nDarragh Morgan is a hugely impressive Irish violinist who has delighted audiences all over the world. It is our turn in Taunton to enjoy the magic of his playing as he performs the beautiful\, though much neglected\, Violin Concerto by E.J. ‘Jack’ Moeran. Do not miss this rare opportunity to be captivated by this sparkling music brought to life by the Somerset County Orchestra and the superb violinist Darragh Morgan. \nGustav Holst became fascinated with astrology on a visit to Majorca in 1913\, to the extent that it developed into a lifelong interest. He wrote The Planets Suite between 1914 and 1917 with each movement named after a planet in our Solar System. The music represents the astrological character of the planets rather than their physical attributes. Whichever is your favourite movement\, you will love becoming reacquainted with this popular interpretation of The Planets.
