Planning for the 2011 Concert Series is well advanced.  The Spring Concert will be held at St Peter's Methodist Church on March 26th on the theme of 'Variations' and will include Mozart's Symphony No. 25 in G minor, Tchaikovsky's Rococo Variations, Haydn's Divertimento No.1 and the famous variations by Brahms on the St. Anthony Chorale that comprises the second movement of the divertimento. Our Summer Concert will be held on 25th June, also at St. Peter's, and will include a flute concerto with works by Respighi, Puccini and Beethoven.  The last concert of the year on 26th November will have a Scandinavian flavour, featuring works by Jarnefelt, Grieg and Sibelius.

Next Concert

Saturday November 27th 2010, 7.30 pm

St Peter's Methodist Church, Canterbury CT1 2BE

Our next concert has a strong French flavour.  It begins with the colourful and exciting symphonic poem by the French composer Paul Dukas inspired by Goethe's ballad of the same name, The Sorcerer's Apprentice.  This is followed by Suite no.2 of orchestral music from Bizet's Carmen, which was put together after the composer's death by Ernest Guiraud and largely features the famous arias.  The final piece is Saint-Saens Symphony no.3, a work written at the height of his creativity, which makes unusual use of piano and organ as part of the orchestral texture.  Tickets are £8.50 for adults and only £2.50 for children of school age and students.  They are available on the door, from the Secretary on 01227 751196, and online through WeGotTickets by clicking on the button below..
