I have managed to purchase premium tickets to see the Brighton Philharmonic Orchestra in concert on Sunday 5th February at the Brighton Dome concert hall. The programme will include:
Mozart Symphony No.29 In A major K201
Haydn Cello Concerto No.1 In C major
Mendelssohn Symphony No.4 In A major Op.90 (Italian)
Conductor and cellist Thomas Carroll will make a welcome return to Brighton exploring more late Classical and early Romantic music. Initially a student at the Yehudi Menuhin School, Thomas went on to study with Heinrich Schiff in Austria, becoming a highly sought-after soloist, chamber musician and, more recently, conductor. Thomas is Artistic Director of the Orpheus Sinfonia.
The Haydn Cello Concerto in D Major is one of my favourite works. It was written in 1783 for a cellist in the Prince of Esterhazy Orchestra and is a very relaxed and lyrical concerto.
Mendelssohn’s ‘Italian’ Symphony No.4 was written in 1833. He was on tour in Italy, aged 24, when he sketched out the work, completing it after a request for a symphony by the Royal Philharmonic Society in London.
An event to look forward to.
