Skipton Building Society Camerata start their 2018 residency at Skipton Town Hall with a fully staged performance of Stravinsky's The Soldier’s Tale, an incisive and darkly humourous theatre piece for a small ensemble of actors, dancers and musicians incorporating a wide range of styles and influences, from marches and waltzes, to ragtime and tango.
In the first half of the concert, Camerata's principle cellist, Doug Badger, performs the first of Bach's extraordinary suites for solo cello.
