Stomping into the Easter weekend with music from Anna Clyne. 👀🦵

Enjoy this encore extract from last month's performance of 'Restless Oceans', led by our Principal Guest Conductor Marin Alsop and featuring the multi-dextrous players of the Orchestra!

The piece is dedicated to Marin Alsop, and inspired by Audre Lorde’s poem 'A Woman Speaks' - focusing on the strength, resilience, and power of women.

Rita Moreno is one of just three people to win an Emmy for The Muppets, the other two: Bernadette Peters and Peter Sellers. The comedy timing during her performance of "Fever" while Animal attempts to railroad her is incredible. It was also done in one take
"Dat my kinda woman!"

@dcsandbrook @TheRestHistory An outstanding listen but I’m going to deduct 0.5 because the ‘message of hope’ ending of the book, avoiding any sentimentality, is inspired and one of its finest moments imo
