Saturday's concert concentrates purely on music with an American connection - Bernstein's Candide Overture opens the concert with a lively flourish, before the jazz-infused Piano Concerto by Gershwin. Rounding off the concert, Dvorak's hugely popular New World Symphony - written in America, but not depicting that country, rather a fond musical depiction of his faraway Bohemian homeland, complete with the beautiful second movement known to generations as the music from the Hovis TV ad.

After the concert, there will be a retiring collection in aid of the Motor Neurone Disease Association.
