SUMMARY:Brigantes Variations with Tim Horton (Piano)
DESCRIPTION:HAYDN Symphony No. 94 in G\, Surprise\nLUTOSLAWSKI Paganini Variations\ninterval\nRACHMANINOV Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini\nBRAHMS Haydn Variations \nStep into a musical time machine and explore how great composers shaped the sounds we hear today. Each concert in our new season begins in a different year\, then travels across the centuries to reveal how familiar ideas – beautiful melodies\, vivid storytelling\, nature\, memory and national character – have been reimagined again and again. Why not guarantee your seat at every concert and save 20% on the whole lot by buying a season ticket! \nOur journey begins in 1792 with Haydn’s famous Surprise Symphony and a musical idea everyone can follow: take a tune and transform it! Four composers show how the same principal of variation can sound witty\, lyrical\, virtuosic or brilliantly modern. We’re thrilled to welcome back Tim Horton after his wonderful performance of Grieg last season!

SUMMARY:Protest Notes
DESCRIPTION:Music has long been a voice for resistance\, remembrance and renewal. In this striking and emotionally charged programme\, the Sheffield Philharmonic Orchestra explores how composers have responded to injustice\, conflict\, and the call for change. \nThey open with Sibelius’s Finlandia — a defiant musical cry for independence and national identity\, written under the shadow of Russian censorship. Then comes Ethel Smyth’s March of the Women\, a rousing anthem of the suffragette movement celebrating women’s fight for equality\, newly arranged for orchestra by Zoë Birtwhistle. \nAmerican composer Margaret Bonds channels the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. in her deeply moving Montgomery Variations\, reflecting on pivotal moments of the civil rights movement. Prokofiev’s final symphony (Symphony No. 7 in C# minor)\, meanwhile\, balances tenderness and irony in a work often seen as his quiet protest against artistic repression in Stalinist Russia. \nThe evening closes with Pēteris Vasks’ The Fruit of Silence – a meditative\, spiritual work inspired by the words of Mother Teresa\, offering a moment of reflection amid the unrest. \nThe fruit of silence is prayer.\nThe fruit of prayer is faith.\nThe fruit of faith is love.\nThe fruit of love is service.\nThe fruit of service is peace. \nThis concert offers a rich\, powerful journey through music that dares to speak out.

DESCRIPTION:Hallé Choral Director\, Matthew Hamilton\, takes the helm for this spectacular season finale. A true showstopper\, Mendelssohn’s Elijah captures the full spectrum of humanity’s struggles and triumphs\, bringing the powerful story of the prophet Elijah to life through music. For this masterpiece\, Sheffield’s resident orchestra and chorus will be joined by a star-studded cast of soloists who will weave this rich tapestry of sound\, blending rousing choruses\, lyrical arias\, complex choral fugues and vivid orchestrations\, ending with a triumphant “Amen”. \nCommissioned by the Birmingham Triennial Music Festival in 1846\, Mendelssohn returned to conduct the premiere of Elijah to find crowds had flooded the streets and the large audience frequently interrupted the performance to applaud! “Never was there a more complete triumph” wrote a reviewer in The Times. \nTHE HALLÉ\nSHEFFIELD PHILHARMONIC CHORUS \nMatthew Hamilton conductor\nA star studded casts of soloists \nMENDELSSOHN Elijah (133)

ORGANIZER;CN="Sheffield Symphony Orchestra":MAILTO:For Potential Players The SSO takes pride in the friendliness and supportive attitude between players. We believe this is why members have such long-standing loyalty and commitment to the orchestra. However, our membership does need to remain large enough to present the extensive repertoire we offer. In particular, we are looking to recruit more string players, especially violin and viola players of all ages. If you are interested, you can come along to a mutual trial period to see if it feels right. We rehearse weekly on Wednesday evenings from early September to late June, except during school holidays. To develop our orchestral sound, we plan to have day schools this season. This will be combined with social occasions to foster the orchestral camaraderie. We play to a high standard so players are expected to be a minimum level of grade 7 and usually around grade 8 or above. If the SSO’s description seems to match what you are looking for and you are curious, don’t hesitate to contact us via the website or Facebook, tweet us on Twitter, or call 07901 566960 to find out more.

SUMMARY:The Hallé – Imogen Cooper performs Mozart
DESCRIPTION:Hallé award-winning conductor Euan Shields is joined by Dame Imogen Cooper to perform Mozart’s final piano concerto. Written in striking contrast to his other concertos\, Mozart’s 27th Piano Concerto\, full of richness and lyricism\, is scored for a relatively small orchestra. Nevertheless\, it is still packed with the charm and beauty so characteristic of the composer’s other works. \nBeginning proceedings is Stravinsky’s Song of the Nightingale – an effective musical illustration of both real and mechanical birdsong. Tchaikovsky’s Second Symphony\, dubbed “Little Russian” thanks to its effective use of Ukrainian folksongs\, provides a joyful end to the evening. \nEuan Shields conductor\nImogen Cooper piano \nSTRAVINSKY Song of the Nightingale (21)\nMOZART Piano Concerto No.27\, K595 (32)\nTCHAIKOVSKY Symphony No.2 “Little Russian” (32)
