Programme Note
Come to a Summer Concert in Southwell Minster on Saturday 5th July at 7.30pm - a beautiful venue for wonderful music played by Nottingham Philharmonic Orchestra in the last concert of their 2024/25 season.
The concert opens with a piece written in 2022 by Martin Ellerby, the music being an emotive response to the invasion of Ukraine. The work remembers the deaths of nearly four million Ukrainians under Stalin’s rule in the 1930s. Martin grew up in Worksop and has had his music performed in many prestigious venues in Britain, and for state events, Royal occasions and overseas tours.
Ethel Smyth's virtuosic double concerto for violin and French horn was written in 1928 in a late Romantic style which fell out of favour in the 20th Century. Our soloists, Callum Smart and Ben Goldscheider, are regular visitors to Nottinghamshire and we are delighted to welcome them back to play with our orchestra.
Walton's 1st symphony is an intensely dramatic work whose final celebratory movement is a contrast to the grief and pain expressed in the first three movements.
