Mozart's love of the clarinet is evident in every phrase of this popular concerto, with an opening reminiscent of The Magic Flute leading to an exuberant conclusion. Our virtuoso soloist, Sarah Williamson, is "A tenacious player" whose "sonorous timbre and natural musicality speak for themselves”.

Rossini was one of the most popular opera composers of his time, and his musically ambitious overtures continue to please audiences today. Of Tchaikovsky's sixth symphony, he wrote to his brother "It is hard for me to tear myself away from it. I believe it comes into being as the best of my works".

Wishing our friends at ipswichsymphony.bsky.social a wonderful afternoon tomorrow at their annual Family Concert in Ipswich. Terrific fun, and a great way to introduce the joy of live classical music performed by a full symphony orchestra to children.

We were discussing venues last night - we think the Apex is at the top (pun intended), with Snape Maltings and Saffron Hall as close seconds. Further afield, the wonderful Stables in Wavendon. Plus, of course, churches and cathedrals that add their own 'voices' to the performers' voices.

😂 👏 🔺 We agree (lucky us). Yes, Snape Maltings is wonderful too. Our pals @trianonmusicgroup.bsky.social had an exciting concert there in September, with an audience of about 600 people - and raised £££ for the RNLI as well thanks to the generosity of the magnificent people of (mainly) Suffolk.

Sounds like it was terrific! The Apex is such an excellent hall with wonderful acoustics. We know how fortunate we are to hold our own concerts there. Our friends @wolseyorch72.bsky.social will be there in February, conducted by Richard Laing and performing Scheherazade.

Hi, we’d love to be added - thanks :)

Our fellow music-makers, #Ipswich Symphony Orchestra, are joined by 'cellist, Adrian Brendel, for their superb concert this Saturday, 30 November. If you're in #Suffolk, #supportlocalmusicians and grab yourself a ticket here:

Chopin’s unknown waltz New York’s Morgan Library & Museum recently discovered an autograph by Frédéric Chopin containing 24 bars of a previously unknown waltz. The small-format sheet measuring 130 by 102 millimeters …

Well this is pretty cool - a new Chopin waltz discovered and confirmed as authentic: bibliolore.org/2024/11/21/c...
