    We are delighted to welcome RNCM concerto competition winner, Andy Deng, to perform Prokofiev's technically formidable 2nd piano concerto.



    Described as a “composer of uncommon gifts and unusual methods” in a New York Times profile and as “fearless” by NPR, Grammy-nominated Anna Clyne is one of the most in-demand composers today, working with orchestras, choreographers, filmmakers, and visual artists around the world.  www.annaclyne.com
    Composer's Notes
    The opening to This Midnight Hour is inspired by the character and power of the lower strings of L'Orchestre national d'Île de France. From here, it draws inspiration from two poems – one by Charles Baudelaire and another by Juan Ramón Jiménez. . Whilst it is not intended to depict a specific narrative, my intention is that it will evoke a visual journey for the listener.

    Sibelius's 2nd symphony, with its grandiose finale, completes the programme.

    Anna Clyne:  This Midnight Hour
    Prokofiev:  Piano Concerto No 2
    Piano:  Andy Deng
    Sibelius:  Symphony No 2

    Callum Smart and Ben Goldscheider have been regular visitors to Nottinghamshire, having both performed as soloists with the NPO in Southwell Minster and the Albert Hall.  We are delighted to welcome them back and this time they will be performing together in Ethel Smyth's concerto for violin and French Horn.

    Martin Ellerby will need no introduction to Nottinghamshire, as he was born in nearby Worksop.  His music has been broadcast and recorded all over the world by leading ensembles and performed at prestigious venues including the Royal Albert Hall, Royal Festival Hall, St. Paul’s Cathedral, Barbican and Wigmore Halls in London.  A 7 year post as civilian composer-in-residence to the Regimental Band of Her Majesty’s Coldstream Guards resulted in much music for specific State events, Royal occasions and overseas tours.  www.martinellerby.com

    Walton's 1st symphony will end our season; a work which shows the influence of Sibelius in its musical structure.
