The fickle hand of fate
Part of the Gorton Philharmonic Orchestra 2026/2027 Season
Add to my Calendar 20-02-2027 19:30 20-02-2027 21:30 36 Gorton Philharmonic Orchestra Winter Concert 2027 Our Winter Concert consists of works connected by fate, starting with the doomed lovers of Tchaikovsky’s symphonic fantasy Francesca di Rimini, composed in a matter of weeks. The virtuosic fireworks of Wienawski’s Fantasie brilliante, based upon two themes from Gounod's Faust, will then light up the evening before the lighter, dance-like Andromeda by Augusta Holmes shows us that we don’t always have to have to be bound by our fate. The concert ends with one of the most famous symphonies in the repertoire - Beethoven’s Symphony No. 5, with its instantly-recognizable four-notes opening “fate” motif.
