Accent on Youth Summer Concert

Featuring Young Violinist Lizzie Dawson

Add to my Calendar 20-05-2023 19:30 20-05-2023 21:30 36 Accent on Youth Summer Concert Pathos, Dance, the solo Violin at it’s lyrical best and ebullient symphonic composition/  This concert of extreme contrasts has it all. Dazzling violinist Lizzie Dawson provides us with our youthful focus tonight. Leader of the Hallé Youth Orchestra, she is currently studying at the Royal Northern College of Music.  Lizzie will play the stunning Mendelssohn Violin Concerto a firm favourite with performers, orchestras and concert goers alike. We open with Bartók's suite of 6  “Romanian Folk Dances”.  Based on tunes originally played on either the fiddle or the shepherd’s flute it combines simple tuneful melodies with Bartók’s unique style. Samuel Barber’s Adagio for Strings has been described as the saddest music in the classical repertoire. The music has been featured in many TV and movie soundtracks and was played at Albert Einstein’s funeral as well as immediately following the announcement of the death of JFK. Our theme on youth continues in our concluding piece, Schubert’s 3rd Symphony, which he wrote when still a teenager! This is a piece full of the positivity and energy of youth.  Influenced by Rossini it will send you home with the sense of the joys of spring. All Saints Church, Sheffield DD/MM/YYYY
