For televsion viewers, the introductory music to the broadcast will, of course, be taken from A Monochrome Symphony, by Sir Arthur Bliss.

The programme will also include the Kew Ban Overture, An Armenian in Paris, and Rhapsody in Black and White.

I'd heard it was more likely to be of Schoenberg's eleven-tone opera Moses and Ron.

I have a feeling the golden calf may have stymied that one - and could they afford the gas bill for the burning bush?

Apparently they're thinking of disbanding the orchestra to save cash and concentrating on classic drama instead. The Bard's Bankrupt of Venice is on the cards.
