Programme Note
An exciting and varied programme, including a twentieth century trumpet concerto and a vivid Venezuelan piece as well as more traditional classical works. To mark the centenary of the end of WW1 the music includes "I vow to thee, my country", Jupiter's theme from Holst's Planets Suite used as a hymn tune. The orchestra is delighted to be playing with Stuart Ellsmore once again, who displays such mastery of the trumpet.
