    Description: Spring Classics

    With Spring in the air, why not join us at the Albert Hall for a concert of beautiful music including Mozart's Sinfonia Concertante featuring our own leader (Clare Bhabra) and principal viola (Ann-Marie Shaw) as soloists.

    Louise Farrenc was a talented pianist and professor of piano at the Paris Conservatory.  Her work as a composer was largely forgotten until the late 20th century when many were rediscovered and recorded.  Her delightful Overture No 1 is included in our programme.

    Works by our featured composer for the season, Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, were included in our November and January concerts and we continue that trend here with his Othello Suite.

    Robert Schumann's 5 movement Symphony No 3 - The Rhenish completes the programme.

    Programme:
    Samuel Coleridge-Taylor - Othello Suite
    Mozart - Sinfonia Concertante
    (Soloists:  Clare Bhabra & Ann-Marie Shaw)
    Louise Farrenc - Overture No 1
    Schumann - Symphony No 3 ("The Rhenish")
