| Cheltenham Town Hall, Cheltenham GL50 1QA, United Kingdom Saturday 6-Jul-13 07:30pm A Britten Double Bill & Shostakovich's Fifth Symphony Chetham’s, in Manchester, is one of the world’s finest specialist music schools—and so it may easily lay claim to having the best school orchestra in the world. In this concert, they bring together two composers who, for the final decade and a half of their lives at least, became great friends and musical confederates. Years before they did meet, in 1959, they wrote these three very different pieces—two of which at least, Shostakovich’s 5th symphony from 1937 and Britten’s Young Person’s Guide from 1946, have become firm fixtures of the orchestral repertory. Britten’s Violin Concerto, premiered in New York in 1940, is performed here by the hugely-talented 16 year-old, Callum Smart—a Chetham’s student and winner of the strings category of BBC Young Musician in 2010. | ||

| Assembly Hall Theatre, Tunbridge Wells, Tunbridge Wells TN1 2LU, United Kingdom Sunday 6-Oct-13 03:00pm Smart performs Britten There’s an inspiring mix of beautiful classics to be enjoyed during the RTWSO’s 92nd season, and you can experience six afternoons of unforgettable music-making. Benjamin Britten was the 20th century’s consummate musician. To celebrate his centenary, this opening concert features two of his pieces. Matinées Musicales is a witty reworking of Rossini, which revels in dance rhythms and demonstrates Britten’s tongue-in-cheek sense of humour. Callum Smart will perform Britten’s Violin Concerto. This early work represents a real milestone in the composer’s development. The orchestral sound is assured, the solo writing brilliant and idiomatic, and the cumulative impact considerable. Berlioz was driven by a musical vision that went beyond his time. Unrequited love, opium, suicide, the guillotine and a monstrous Witches’ Sabbath are among the lurid ingredients of his Symphonie Fantastique, a work of vast imagination and originality. Here is theatre in symphonic form. Sponsored by Greenbank Wealth Management. | ||
