Programme notes *: Adam Gorb writes about his composition Awaday: "In this six-minute curtain-raiser my inspiration has come from the great days of the American Musical Comedy. I have tried to express in a brief sonata form movement the exhilaration of getting away from it all' for a few short hours on a festive Bank Holiday. Musically the piece is an homage to the great days of the Broadway musical with its irresistible brashness and impressible high spirits. If you can envisage George Gershwin, Leonard Bernstein, Igor Stravinsky, and James Bond traveling together at a hundred miles per hour in an open-top sports car, I think you'll get the idea."
