Great classics for all
A pick and mix classical variety-fest awaits you at this concert by Havant
Symphony Orchestra! Major serious composers? tick; Live virtuoso
pianist? tick; Great hummable tunes? tick! To quote a
first-time audience member at one of our previous concerts “This is
proper!”
The major composers are Prokofiev and Brahms, but we also introduce you to
Peter Warlock with his “Capriol Suite”, based on renaissance
dances, and to Hamish MacCunn whose “Land of the Mountain and the
Flood” is a delightful evocation of his native Scotland.
The virtuoso pianist is Christos Fountos – born in Cyprus but a student
of the Trinity Laban Conservatoire in London. His performance of the
Concerto No. 3 by Prokofiev will be spectacular!
Hummable tunes? These will feature throughout but especially in the
MacCunn and Warlock, and Brahms’ Symphony No. 2 will leave you with a warm
glow to take home at the end.
