Programme Note
Lovely Lully; sensational Saint-Saëns; ravishing Ravel and pleasing Poulenc all performed with the freshness of youth.
We’re opening in 1670! with Molière’s Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme the music for which was composed by Jean Baptiste Lully -- French Baroque music at its very best. This is followed by Saint-Saëns Cello Concerto which many -- composers and cellists alike -- consider one of the greatest of all cello concertos. Our soloist is a local up and coming cellist, James Hindle, who is currently studying at the Royal Academy of Music.
After the interval comes Ravel's dreamy and evocative‘Pavane pour une infante defunte’, which he described as something “a little princess might have danced at the Spanish court”. Finally, our concluding piece is Francis Poulenc's Sinfonietta -- light and easy on the ear and full of dance rhythms.
This year's Accent on Youth concert is actually a double whammy for the title applies not only to our soloist, but also to guest conductor John Lyon, who is based in Sheffield and is the principal conductor for the Leeds Symphony Orchestra.
Please come and support these local lads as they embark on their music careers.
