COLERIDGE-TAYLOR Petite Suite de Concert
MACONCHY Bassoon Concertino
SHOSTAKOVICH Symphony No. 10
Trinity Orchestra
Conductor: Rebecca Miller
Leader: Arwen Newband
Bassoon Soloist: Amy Harman
We’re very pleased to welcome Rebecca Miller as conductor for this diverse and enthralling evening of music.
The concert begins with Coleridge-Taylor’s delightful Petite Suite de Concert, followed by the intriguing and seldom heard Bassoon Concertino by Elizabeth Maconchy, featuring the extraordinarily talented Amy Harman as soloist, who is currently principal bassoon with the Aurora Orchestra.
The evening reaches its climax with a performance of Shostakovich’s monumental Tenth Symphony – an astounding achievement in symphonic form at a time when most western composers had abandoned the symphony.
