Programme Note
Arturo Serna, charismatic conductor, prize winning cellist and inspirational teacher returns to the podium to conduct:
* The Overture to Beethoven's Creations of Prometheus Ballet; Expect fireworks as the allegro section represents Prometheus fleeing from heaven after stealing fire from the gods
* The 3rd Violin concerto of the immensely talented french composer, Cammille Saint-Saens of whom Berlioz said 'he knows everything but lacks inexperience!'
* Brahms 3rd Symphony a piece with sweeping melodies, the third movement has been used extensively in film and television productions and was used as the tune in Frank Sinatra's 'Take my love'
Piotr Kopec is soloist in the Saint-Saens Concerto. Piotr studied violin at Trinity College of Music in London. In recent years has performed all of the major violin concertos and is a member of several string quartets. He plays a 1673 Andrea Guarneri violin, kindly on loan from Felicity Belfield.
