Programme Note

Suffolk Philharmonic is a fully professional orchestra whose players are among the country’s finest musicians. In this landmark concert, it makes its first venture outside its home county to visit Ely Cathedral, where it will be playing some of Mendelssohn's best-loved works as part of the Ely Arts Festival.

Who could fail to delight in Fingal’s Cave as it takes us on a journey through calm swells to something much more challenging and back again, ending as we disappear across the horizon leaving the island a mere memory in the far distance?

Then the wonderful young French violinist Charlotte Saluste-Bridoux takes the stage for Mendelssohn’s romantic masterpiece, his Violin Concerto, surely one of the most extraordinary and compelling works in an extraordinary and compelling category of composition. In 2021, Charlotte was a prize winner in both the inaugural Young Classical Artists Trust (London) and the Concert Artists Guild (New York) 2021 International Auditions.

Finally, bask in the swirling colours of Italian peasant dancing in the Symphony No 1 (Italian), which leads us from a sun-drenched opening into a solemn religious procession in Naples, and ends with a fiery Saltarello and Tarantella – the legendary frenzied dance in which the victim of a tarantula sting dances himself to death.
