Prepare your ears and steady your heart: the Sussex Symphony Orchestra unravels an evening of "Musical Mayhem," a classical racket with a twist. From the sibylline whispers of Elgar's Enigma Variations to a playful introduction to the instruments of the orchestra in Britten's Young Person's Guide to the Orchestra, the night promises to be a joyous cavort through some of the best of musical storytelling. Malcolm Arnold's "A Grand, Grand Overture" promises to wield the pomp and circumstance of vacuum cleaners and rifles – and a panache only outmatched by the cheeky clatter of Anderson's "The Typewriter." It's an evening where the sublime meets the ridiculous, proving once again that in the world of classical music, anything goes.
