Autumn 2018 – more information

William Tell Overture

Our journey around the world begins in the Wild West. The music begins with fantastic solo cellos, then gets faster and faster to the end. Watch out for the Lone Ranger theme (trrrm trrrm trrrm tm tm…..)

Trumpet Concerto

We are delighted to welcome Gideon Brooks to perform the Arutunian trumpet concert.

Gideon currently studies at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama. He won the Coro Nuovo Young Musician of the Year Award and was a prize winner in the Charlton House Society Lyrical Brass Competition. Last year he was appointed principal trumpet of the Young Musicians Symphony Orchestra.

Gideon has performed with Welsh National Opera, BBC National Orchestra of Wales, Sinfonia Cymru and as principal trumpet with the English National Ballet and the City of London Sinfonia. Gideon has performed for HRH Prince Charles at Buckingham Palace.

In the Steppes of Central Asia

Spooky desert music now, with a beautiful folk tune

 

 

Lieutenant Kije Suite

Next we follow the life of Lieutenant Kije, including the beautiful Romance and the very well known Troika.

Capriccio Italien

You will recognise the tunes in our final piece. It begins with a resounding brass fanfare, followed by jolly tunes which dance around the orchestra. We’ll send you away with your feet tapping!
