Symphony No 8 in G, Op 88, B163
Symphony No 9 in E minor, Op 95, B178 ‘From the New World’
9 Symphonies in a day! Craig Lawton and Paul Ingram return for their SIXTH musical marathon fundraiser.
Get swept away in a day of thrilling and lavish Bohemian music by Czech composer Antonin Dvořák. University of Southampton Music Alumni Craig and Paul invite you to join them and support the Centre for Cancer Immunology.
It is 18 years since Haydathon saw an ambitious 104 symphonies performed in three days – and all for a good cause. The last two years have seen a whirl of fiercely emotive and dynamic Russian music from Tchaikovsky and Shostakovich. This time, the dynamic duo and their orchestra turn their focus to the Czech Republic and the music of Dvořák.
Dvořákathon will focus on the 9 complete symphonies by the composer delivered over four concerts.
Dvořákathon is raising funds to support the work of the University of Southampton’s Centre for Cancer Immunology in association with Turner Sims
Opened in spring 2018, the Centre for Cancer Immunology is the UK’s first centre dedicated to cancer immunology research. This centre is run by world-class scientists, researching new, life-saving immunotherapy drugs. These drugs have the potential to treat otherwise untreatable cancers. Since the centre’s opening, they have developed a revolutionary DNA cancer vaccine to encourage the immune system to recognise cancer. They have discovered new ways to identify patients who are twice as likely to die from lung cancer. They have launched a clinical trial to test new immunotherapy treatments for bladder cancer. At the Centre for Cancer Immunology, they are dedicated to pushing the boundaries of cancer research to beat cancer for good.
