Stoneleigh Youth Orchestra
Fairfield Halls, Concert Hall, CR9 1DG , [Venue Details]Stoneleigh open their Summer Concert with Sibelius’s patriotic tone poem "Finlandia".
Composed in 1899 to rouse national pride in the face of increasing Russian censorship, its continuing popularity has led to the final hymn-like theme becoming an unofficial national anthem for the country.
This will be followed by Sibelius' Violin Concerto, which combines fiendishly virtuosic writing for the soloist with a lush, symphonic accompaniment. Stoneleigh are joined by soloist Jordan Brooks - a young South African violinist based in London who is fast making a name for himself, having already won several international awards and prizes. Jordan is kindly supported by Making Music’s Philip & Dorothy Green Young Artists scheme.
Stoneleigh’s Training Orchestra opens the second half of the concert with a Fanfare for King Richard III by Paul Lewis. This will be followed by excerpts from Tchaikovsky’s ballet Swan Lake and the rousing final movement of Dvořák’s first suite of Slavonic Dances.
Tchaikovsky’s 6th Symphony completes the concert. Widely considered his greatest symphony, its inspiration and possible link to his personal life has been the subject of much debate. Whatever the circumstances of its composition it remains a profound, emotionally charged work that the composer described as ‘my very best…the most sincere of all my compositions’.
