Bridgewater Sinfonia concert
Bridgewater Sinfonia promises a wonderful concert on Saturday, with a performance of the Sibelius Violin Concerto in D minor (soloist Michael Foyle) and Shostakovich’s famous 5th Symphony. This is an ideal concert for young people because the programme will also feature Britten’s Young Person’s Guide to the Orchestra. Originally composed for a 1946 educational documentary film, this piece takes a melody by Purcell played by different sections of the orchestra, showing off the distinctive sound of each family of instruments – woodwind, brass, strings, and percussion. What’s more, tickets for under-18s are free!
Advance tickets are available from Ashtons Estate Agents (next to Tesco) and online for £20, or £22 on the door.
