The Salomon Orchestra are doing an attractively romantic programme for their concert on Valentines day, at St. Johns Smith Square.
Philip Ellis conducts them in Tchaikovsky's Romeo and Juliet, Wagner's Siegfried Idyll and Sibelius's 2nd Symphony. I must confess that I do rather find the Wagner a little too over done but the other two are both certainly worth making an effort to hear. The advantage of St. Johns is that you can have a rather nice meal there before hand, just to compliment things nicely!
