We open this concert with two extracts from operas: the lively overture to Nabucco - Verdi’s first successful opera - and ballet music from the opera The Perfect Fool by Gustav Holst. The concerto item is Souvenir d'un Lieu Cher a mini violin concerto by Tchaikovsky, an orchestration of three attractive pieces for violin and piano. The first half of our concert is completed with a piece by a resident composer, Patrick Jones. His engaging Passacaglia takes the form of a set of variations based on a repeating bass line. The concert is concluded with Brahms’s symphony no.3 the shortest of the composer’s symphonies but, Dvořák remarked, certainly the most beautiful.
