Next 28/2 the "Orchestra del Teatro Comunale di Bologna" (cond.P.von Steinacker) will perform "The Sea" by Frank Bridge.
Just now I am aware that on last 15 November the youthful and modestly sized "Orchestra Sinfonica di Sanremo" (Sanremo is a small town on the sea, a holidays venue) has performed Parry Third Symphony and G.Butterworth "The Banks of the Green Willow" (alongside Gliere Concerto for soprano coloratura and a work by the conductor Donald Appert).
BTW in Sanremo last summer I heard in an actual concert Delius "On hearing the first cuckoo in spring" and "Summer Night on the River" (while in 2012 in my city, Torino, I have heard Delius Cello Sonata).
