The movements are called: The Sabre and The Quill, The Sword and The Feather, The Scimitar's Feather.

Says here there are some premieres too. Do you know which pieces they are (Meechan and Stetner)?

No livestream, but I'm told it'll be recorded.

Also on the program is some Grainger (Lincolnshire Posy), Holst (First Suite), Whitacre (Lux Arumque), and a few others incl. new local works.
