Led by conductor Simon Wright, the Orchestra will open this concert with layers of lively, fast-paced strings in the Overture to Mozart’s spirited operatic masterpiece, The Marriage of Figaro. The Orchestra will then perform one of Mozart’s most beloved and expertly crafted pieces, Eine kleine Nachtmusik.
Joining the Orchestra will be soloist Tamsin Waley-Cohen, a violinist of “fearless intensity” (The Guardian). Audiences will be able to hear her perform one of the foremost violin concertos of the Romantic Era, full of warmth and vitality, Mendelssohn’s Violin Concerto.
Closing the concert will be one of the most instantly recognisable pieces of classical music: Beethoven’s Symphony No.5. Opening with four imposing chords, this piece has been sampled in every genre from rock to disco, and here is your chance to hear it in its full glory.
