Our original trumpet soloist Matilda Lloyd is unfortunately unable to
play because of needing emergency dental treatment, but
Matilda has very helpfully
arranged for another outstanding player,
Zoë Perkins, also a BBC Young Musician
brass finalist, to perform the Hummel in her place.
We wish Matilda a speedy recovery and return to playing.

Sound the trumpet!
Havant Symphony Orchestra return to Waterlooville, post-pandemic, with a
fanfare! We are proud to bring you young trumpeter Zoë Perkins
to play the sparkling Concerto by Hummel. One of
the few major solo pieces for the trumpet, played live by a former BBC Young
Musician of the Year Brass finalist – this is an opportunity not to be
missed!
There’s a strong English feel to the rest of the programme with
Benjamin Britten and Edward Elgar both represented. The concert opens
with music evoking seascapes from Britten’s dark opera “Peter
Grimes” and ends with the magnificent characters depicted in
Elgar’s famous “Enigma Variations”. A short piece that
will be unfamiliar, but which we’re sure you’ll love is
Liadov’s “Kikimora” – the tale of an evil character
from Slavic folklore.
