Concert Details
Our 2024 summer concert will be in St Gregory's Church, Sudbury. This concert will be a jewel of an evening in a seriously pretty and intimate church. Mary Blanchard is a celebrated local professional flautist and Mozart's Flute Concerto (the FIrst one, the Second one is a re-written oboe concerto) is a wonderfully elegant piece which allows the virtuosity of the soloist to shine through in spades. We start the evening with Larssen's Pastoral Suite, he is one of Sweden's best loved composers and this is his best loved work. SIt back and enjoy this fun and beautiful music which is attractive from the first hearing. After the interval we have Schubert's Symphony No. 6, a lovely youthful piece full of effortless melodies and instruments almost having conversations with each other. Altogether, though we say it ourselves, a terrific programme.
We chose St Gregory's for our summer concert as its acoustics are very good for this smaller scale concert. Some venues suit certain types of concerts better than others and St Gregory's is best suited for intimate concerts. And we can organise a post-concert summer party for everyone which we hope you will come to as well. We are reserving Sudbury Arts Centre for our larger scale concerts and hope to be back there for our November 2024 concert.
