Holy Trinity Church, High Street Guildford, GU1 3RR
Vaughan Williams – Wasps Overture
Ravel – Piano Concerto in G Major
Sibelius – Symphony No. 3
Conductor: Phil Ellis
Piano soloist: Antoine Préat
An opportunity to hear some thrilling live music in the heart of Guildford in the historic surroundings and wonderful acoustic of Holy Trinity Church.
The concert opens with the Wasps overture offering a bustling succession of tunes.
Gifted young pianist, Antoine Préat is the soloist for Ravel’s Piano Concerto in G Major. Expect flamboyant music with a lightness of touch to delight the mind and senses but with depths of feeling beneath its glittering surfaces.
Finnish folk influences are to the fore in the 3rd Symphony by Sibelius – good-natured, triumphant and deceptively simple sounding, this is a delight.
