WPO: Musical Pictures

The Worthing Philharmonic Orchestra presents an exciting concert of images and scenes conjured up by music.

Featuring:

Berlioz - Roman Carnival Overture
Bruch - Violin Concerto No.1 in G Minor
Debussy - Prelude A L'apres - Midi D'un Faune
Mussorgsky / Ravel - Pictures at an Exhibition

Denise Ham, Conductor
June Lee, Violin

Mallarmé's dream-like poetic depiction of a Faun inspired one of Debussy's most beautiful orchestral works; the bustle and excitement of a carnival scene is conveyed in one of Berlioz's best-known overtures; and Ravel's orchestration of Mussorgsky's musical art gallery stands alongside the abstract images that Bruch's famous Violin Concerto evokes for many listeners.

Denise Ham (Guest Conductor) makes her début with the orchestra, and is joined by the WPO's leader, June Lee, as the violin soloist.
