New season of concerts by Charnwood Orchestra is launching
CHARNWOOD Orchestra open their exciting 2019/2020 programme season with a concert at Holy Trinity Church in Barrow-upon-Soar on Saturday, September 14.
The orchestra are really pleased to welcome Richard Lewis, who will be the soloist for the popular Mozart Horn Concerto No.4.
Other works the orchestra will be performing in this wonderful programme include Beethoven Coriolan Overture, Schubert Ballet Music and Entr’acte from Rosamunde, and Haydn Symphony no.103 ‘Drum-roll’.
The Overture to Coriolan was composed in 1807 and calls for a small orchestra, calling for pairs of woodwind instruments, 2 horns, triumpets and timpani. An ideal opener for an evening of popular classical works.
Mozarts Horn Concerto’s were written for his great friend the horn player Joseph Leutgeb.
The synopsis for Rosamunde, a tale of mistaken identity, kidnapping, pirates, poisoned letters, disguise, shipwrecks and a princess long assumed dead who is united with her prince to whom she has been betrothed since infancy. Schubert was inspired to write some glorious music.
Haydn Drum Roll Symphony is so entitled as it opens with a long drum roll. From this unexpected effect, the music takes wings through the strings, bassoons gradually embracing the whole orchestra.
