Enigmatic Passion
Unfortunately, due to the impact of the COVID-19 virus, our September concerts have been cancelled.
Restrictions on rehearsals mean that even if restrictions on large groups are lifted by mid September there will be inadequate rehearsal time for this concert. The Overture and Symphony from September have now been moved to our November concert.
Dependent on easing of covid-19 restrictions. Note change of program.
Drama & Passion
Tchaikovsky’s Pathetique symphony portrays the full range of human emotions from hope through happiness to despair. Written just before he died, the true meaning of this most dramatic of symphonies remains an enigma. Italian composer Antonio Salieri was a teacher of many famous composers including Beethoven and Mozart and came to fame in Peter Schaffer’s play and film Amadeus. Although mainly a composer of opera, he also wrote this attractive concerto for flute and oboe, performed by Lauren Gorman and Brienne Gawler. The concert opens with a typically dramatic overture to Verdi’s opera Nabucco.
