Featuring Ben Goldscheider

Add to my Calendar 17-03-2018 19:30 17-03-2018 21:30 36 Hitchin Chamber Orchestra - Spring Concert Hitchin Chamber Orchestra is launching its 2018 concert series on 17 March at St Mary’s Church, Hitchin with a concert at 7:30pm featuring a musician with local roots and an international profile. Ben Goldscheider, winner of the 2016 BBC’s Young Musician Competition (Brass section), has since been enjoying a meteoric rise to prominence and universal recognition within the classical music world. One of his many press reviews asks a defining question, “What separates Ben from the ranks of well-qualified (French) horn players?” The reviewer gives an unequivocal answer: he is a young man with a timeless gift. Ben is to perform Telemann’s Horn Concerto in D and will then be joined by Australian-born tenor Andrew Sutherland and the orchestra for Benjamin Britten’s spell-binding ‘Serenade,’ with its settings of poems by Blake, Tennyson and Keats. The Orchestra, directed once again by London-based conductor David Murphy and lead by local violinist Nick Evans-Pughe, will also be performing music by Walton from the film Henry V, a concerto by Handel, and two delightful waltzes by Dvorak. Apart from the obvious pride with which the Hitchin Chamber Orchestra presents this occasion it also compels its members once again, to step up to the plate in terms of its own excellence. HCO is well used to engaging its local audience with fresh and exciting programmes but it is expected that this one will be a “were you there?” event for the local music-loving public.
