Spring concert at St Peter’s Church

The event will start at 7.30pm.

Principal horn Trevor Denyer will be the soloist in Haydn’s rare but beautiful Horn Concerto no. 2, while Mozart’s last symphony, no. 41 in C, will form the climax of the concert. This is an extraordinary piece – strong, vigorous themes alongside a tune from a comic opera, an intense and deeply felt slow movement and a finale to end all finales.

Beethoven had his work cut out to improve on this when he came to write his symphonies and it is his Overture ‘Coriolan’ which begins the concert – a dramatic and stormy utterance which explores the hero’s dilemma while camped outside Rome deciding whether to attack the city or not.
