Programme:
Saint-Saëns. “The Carnival of Animals”
Waltzes, marches and polkas by Johann Strauss junior

The witty “The Carnival of the Animals” will be followed by the waltzes, marches, and polkas of Johann Strauss (junior) in an astounding format: for the male choir and symphony orchestra. Strauss wrote these in the 1860s specially for the Vienna Men’s Choral Association. There were no limits to the astonishment of the audience, not only in Vienna, but also in Paris and London.
