# Event Details

- **Event Name**: The Moon in June
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sun, 21 Jun, 2026 at 02:00 pm
- **Event Description**: Risingholme Orchestra invites you to a concert based on works chosen by our players, starting with Aaron Copland’s celebrated Fanfare for the Common Man. The first of two compositions by New Zealand composers – John Rimmer’s Waitaki Reflections – has a special poignancy for us, as it commemorates Risingholme trumpet player Vic Bartley who died in 2022. Richard Strauss’s Serenade in E-flat major was an early work, completed when the composer was only 17. David Farquhar’s Ring Round the Moon dance suite – his best-known and most frequently performed piece – rounds off the first half of our programme.

Belgian-born Steven Verhelst’s A Song for Japan transports us to the 21st century, followed by Samuel Barber’s celebrated Adagio for Strings written in 1936: three years before the outbreak of World War II. The 17th-century composer Matthew Locke’s Musick for His Majesty’s Sackbuts and Cornetts is a masterpiece of early English wind music. No less a masterpiece are Antonín Dvořák’s two sets of Slavonic Dances, from which we have selected three to conclude the concert.
