Programme Note

Our concert is an evening of classical and neo-classical gems from the 18th and 20th centuries.

Prokofiev wrote the Overture on Hebrew Themes in New York after fleeing Russia.  He originally arranged the catchy klezmer tunes for a group of friends playing clarinet, string quartet and piano but later arranged this version for small orchestra.

Stravinsky’s inspiration for the ballet ‘Pulcinella’ was a collection of 18th century music once thought to be by Pergolesi.  He adapted this to a more modern style with the use of modern rhythms and harmonies to give a unique flavour.  We will play the Suite he derived from the full ballet music.

The twelve ‘London’ symphonies are the culmination of Haydn’s development of this form.  Number 99 in E flat well displays his characteristic cheerfulness and wit.
