WPO: Orchestral Transformations

The excellent Worthing Philharmonic Orchestra presents a concert of virtuoso orchestral showpieces on Sunday 24th November at 3pm.

Programme:

Stravinsky: Suite from The Firebird (1919 version)
Liszt: Piano Concerto No. 1
Bartók: Concerto for Orchestra

Stravinsky's magical Firebird Suite opens this concert in which the unifying factor is traditional folk melodies turned into virtuosic orchestral showpieces. From Liszt, a master of thematic transformation, we hear the 1st Piano Concerto, with Coulsdon and Purely Festival Winner, Ekaterina Grabvoa, as soloist. The programme ends with the exhilarating 'Concerto for Orchestra', written in 1943 by Liszt's fellow Hungarian, Bela Bartók.

Ekaterina Grabova, Piano
Dominic Grier, Conductor
