LSO Coffee Session: Mendelssohn Scherzo from A Midsummer Night's Dream // Gareth Davies

With the rest of the orchestra playing at the Aix-en-Provence Festival in France for the next month, Principal Flute Gareth Davies finds himself without colleagues to perform this arrangement - by Carla Rees - of the Scherzo from Mendelssohn's A Midsummer Night's Dream for seven flutes. But he isn't going to let that stop him!
Enjoy this latest instalment in our occasional series of LSO Coffee Sessions - short concerts by members of the London Symphony Orchestra recorded in their own homes.
