Win a pair of tickets to see the Cardiff Philharmonic Orchestra at St David's Hall, Cardiff
CARDIFF Philharmonic Orchestra return to St David’s Hall, Cardiff, on Friday March 16 as Classics for All offers a breathtaking repertoire of Haydn, Vaughan Williams and Brahms. Two contrasting symphonies open and close this captivating concert, which is the third of CPO’s 2017/18 season. Haydn’s ‘Drum Roll’ Symphony is a work full of sparkle and zest, which provides the perfect opening piece. Incredibly, it was the iconic Austrian composer’s 103rd symphony! Conversely, Brahms wrote just four of them and was 43 years old when his first symphony was premiered whereas Haydn had already composed well over 50 by the same age! Brahms’ Symphony No. 1 takes us on a journey in its four movements from despair and angst to joy and triumph, and contains in its final movement one of the most beautiful and best-loved tunes written by any composer.
Separating these two symphonies is Vaughan Williams’ sublime work for violin and orchestra, The Lark Ascending. Written in 1914 but put aside while Williams served in the First World War, it features a solo violin as the lark with the orchestra providing musical images of the rolling countryside. It is the work consistently voted the nation’s favourite classic.
Soloist for this piece is talented violinist, Sara Trickey who has previously performed with CPO at the National Concert Hall of Wales and on tour in France.
