Northampton Symphony Orchestra concert
21 July 2023
On Sunday 9 July I played in the Northampton Symphony Orchestra’s annual Friends Concert - a Sunday afternoon bonus concert for the Friends of the Orchestra which provides an opportunity for us to play a range of shorter and lighter pieces. This year’s programme included ‘The Gold and Silver Waltz’ by Franz Lehár, Franz von Suppè’s ‘Isabella Overture’ and the musical joke ‘Perpetuum Mobile’ by Johann Strauss II. We also featured a young clarinet soloist from Northamptonshire Music and Performing Arts trust playing the first movement of Weber’s ‘Clarinet Concerto No 2’ and NSO leader Emily Groom played the beautiful ‘Romance for violin and orchestra No. 2 in F major’ by Beethoven. The strings of the orchestra played Elgar’s ‘Serenade For Strings’ and we performed the ever popular ‘Hebrides Overture (Fingal's Cave)’ by Mendelssohn. It was a lovely way to end our 2022-23 concert season.
