Programme Note
Havant Chamber Orchestra's first concert of 2024 will bring warmth on a dark February evening. All three featured German composers travelled extensively and were influenced by the music from other European countries. Schubert wrote his overture in the 'Italian Style' out of admiration of the great Italian composer Rossini. Mendelssohn said in a letter home from Italy, that his fourth symphony was 'the jolliest piece I've ever done.' Composed in his home city, Salzburg Mozart's violin concerto is joyful and full of fun, and will be played by Alexandra Peel, winner of the Portsmouth Music Festival Concerto Award in 2022.
