Following the success of our collaboration in 2005, WSO is delighted to join forces once again with the musicians of Wymondham College. Here’s a programme for everyone: Shostakovich’s stirring and joyful overture; familiar Sibelius melodies; a full symphony by Borodin, one of the father’s of nationalist music; and a piece of history - Gabrieli’s sonata for large brass ensemble, which was the earliest composition (1597) to exploit the contrast between piano (soft) and forte (loud).

The orchestra will be joined by musicians from the school, a wonderful experience for both groups! In addition, the College’s Concert Band is planning to perform some familar tunes from well-known musicals.

Summer Concert

Programme:-

• Masquerade Suite - Kachaturian
• Clarinet Concerto No 2 in E flat - Weber
  with soloist Sarah Williamson
• Symphony No 6 - Dvorak

Time:- 19:30

Ticket prices:- £10 (adult), £9 (concession), £2 (children)

Once again, WSO are proud to be a part of the exciting Wymondham Music Festival. We welcome talented clarinetist Sarah Williamson who will join the orchestra in Weber’s expressive and lyrical second clarinet concerto. Either side of that are two contrasting pieces. Katchaturian’s Masquerade Suite, a popular concert piece with its rhythmic vitality, rich orchestration and intoxicating melody. The 6th Symphony by Dvorak is a fusion of the symphonic convention with Czech folk music, which succeeded in establishing his international reputation, not least in this country.
