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:VIVALDI'S FOUR SEASONS AND THE LARK ASCENDING
DESCRIPTION:Programme to include: \nMozart – Overture to The Marriage of Figaro\nVaughan Williams – The Lark Ascending\nMozart – Flute Quartet in D\nVivaldi – The Four Seasons \nARTISTS\nEmmanuel Webb\nSoloist \nABOUT\nExperience breathtaking music by some of classical music’s greatest composers\, performed by some of the country’s finest classical musicians\, all presented in stunning candlelight. \nAt the heart of the concert is Antonio Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons\, the most recorded work in classical music and a defining showpiece for solo violin. Each concerto depicts a different season\, shaped by accompanying poems – possibly written by Vivaldi himself. Across the four concertos\, Vivaldi transforms the natural world into vivid musical scenes\, evoking birdsong and buzzing flies\, harvest celebrations\, drunken revellers\, barking dogs\, summer storms and winter ice. \nAlongside this\, Vaughan Williams’ The Lark Ascending\, composed on the eve of the First World War\, offers a more reflective perspective. Inspired by George Meredith’s poem\, it captures a pastoral world on the brink of change\, its soaring violin line suggesting a lark gliding high above the mechanised world below\, “lost on his aerial rings / In light\, and then the fancy sings.” \nOpening the programme we have Mozart’s Overture to The Marriage of Figaro\, an opera drawn from Beaumarchais’ recently banned comedy\, in which a philandering count attempts to seduce his servant’s fiancée\, only to be outmanoeuvred by the servants and his own long-suffering wife. \nWhether you’re already in the know or completely new to classical music\, this is a programme to be enjoyed by all.

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.

SUMMARY:CSYO Spring Concert: Music for A Great City
DESCRIPTION:Fanfare for the Common Man – Aaron Copland\nMusic for a Great City – Aaron Copland\nViolin Concerto in D – Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky (soloist Martin Cropper) \nLink to tickets: https://www.trybooking.com/uk/GDLF \nJoin our city’s talented young musicians as they perform Copland’s celebratory music dedicated to the London Symphony Orchestra and the great city of London\, though almost certainly inspired by the great city of New York. This exciting piece will highlight our incredible wind\, brass and percussion sections in a sonic depiction of a bustling\, modern metropolis. Come on a journey with the orchestra through the sights and sounds of this moody city. \nOur brass and percussion will herald the start of the concert with Copland’s Fanfare for the Common Man\, a piece that honours the ordinary citizen with its soaring melody and profound sense of dignity and strength. \nIn contrast\, the strings will be at centre stage for Tchaikosvky’s lyrical and passionate Violin Concerto in D. We are delighted that local musical celebrity and our very own\, inspirational violin tutor\, Martin Cropper\, will be bringing his own passion and virtuosity to this performance. No one can write a melody so well as Tchaikovsky\, and this favourite of the repertoire offers a real treat for the soloist\, orchestra and audience alike\, with its rich\, passionate soundscape\, bridging deep Slavic melancholy with vibrant Cossack-dance energy. \nThe City of Sheffield Youth Orchestra is one of the UK’s leading independent youth orchestras. CSYO provides valuable orchestral and musical training for young musicians of the region between 13 and 21. \nCSYO is a unique youth orchestra\, offering membership to students up to the age of 21.

And we have plenty turning 22 who don’t want to leave!
