We’re celebrating Beethoven’s 250th birthday with a performance of his wonderful Pastoral Symphony, paired with Stravinsky’s Rite of Spring for a truly memorable night of music.
We chose to perform the Pastoral in part due to this impassioned letter from a member of the violin section (name withheld)……!
Our Autumn concert on Saturday 19 th October, 7:30pm at Redland Hall is a bohemian extravaganza featuring music by Dvořák, Janáček and Kodály.
We have a great programme for our summer concert on Saturday 6th July at 7:30pm at Redland Hall in the lovely grounds of Redmaids’ High school.
For lots of us, Christmas is about tradition; putting up the same beloved but battered decorations on the tree, opening the final doors of your advent calendar on the 24 December, the first of many mince pies.
But the festive season also involves a lot of hard work, rushing around, buying presents, food, doing all the jobs to make everything go smoothly.
On Saturday 11 November, we’ll be performing a sweeping all Russian programme featuring some of the country’s greatest composers, Tchaikovsky, Borodin and Shostakovich.
We kick off with Borodin’s exquisite ‘Polotvsian Dances’, written in 1869 by the composer, a chemist and teacher by profession and who amazingly composed in his free time, much to his musical friends’ dismay. This popular work features many well-known themes with its most famous adapted to form the song ‘Stranger in Paradise’.
We’re very excited to be playing Shostakovich’s first cello concerto in November with an exceptional soloist, Marina Martins.
The concerto, widely considered to be one of the most difficult concert works for cellists, was written by the composer for his friend Rostropovich in 1959. The work is at once terrifying, dark, compelling and astonishingly beautiful.
If you’re looking for all the Christmas classics, a heavenly choir and a dash of some major movie tunes, look no further than our Christmas concert.
We'll be playing big pile of your favourite carols, including Away in a Manger, Hark the Herald Angels and O Come All Ye Faithful for those who love a bit of tradition.
Get ready for some angelic voices. We're excited to announce we’re being joined by Red Maids Close Encounters choir for our Christmas concert on Sunday 11 December at Henleaze United Reform Church in Bristol. The choir sing unaccompanied close harmony and pride themselves on their musical ability and strong reading skills.
Trumpeter Julius Scholz (pictured) joins forces with us for our autumn concert on Saturday 12th November at 7.30pm at the Victoria Rooms, Bristol. The programme has a real Halloween flavour to it, featuring witches, spirits, Satan, obsessive unrequited love and nightmarish hallucinations with Berlioz Symphonie Fantastique and Mussorgsky Night on a Bare Mountain. We're also offering a rare opportunity to hear the Arutunian Trumpet Concerto, a beautiful, flamboyant Russian piece referencing folk music and dance.
