MARCH 2022
Sudbury Symphony Orchestra to perform at Lavenham Church Sudbury Symphony Orchestra is delighted to announce that their next concert will be on Sunday 27th March at 6 pm in Lavenham Church when we will be performing Elgar’s Cello Concerto with Thomas Isaac as soloist and Malcolm Arnold’s Symphony No. 5. Originally the Elgar Cello Concerto with Thomas Isaac was going to be performed in March 2020 but this concert was cancelled due to covid so it is great news that he is now able to perform it now with us. This is the third time that Thomas Isaac will have performed with the orchestra, the last time was in 2017 when he riveted the audience with his wonderful performance of Dvorak’s Cello Concerto. Thomas is co-principal cellist with the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra having finished his post graduate studies with the Royal Academy of Music. He has also performed in Radio 3 concerts, in the Shanghai International Cello Festival, the Wigmore Hall and many other prestigious venues. Elgar’s cello concerto is one of THE cello concertos, in fact with the Dvorak concerto it is probably the most performed of all cello concertos. Elgar started composing it in 1918 and finished it in 1919. It is a lament for a lost world, haunted by autumn sadness. Beloved by audiences the world over for its sweeping and noble passages this will be a magical start to the evening. Malcolm Arnold’s music is better known than most people realise as not only did he compose many works for orchestra but he also wrote for the theatre, the ballet and he wrote the scores for more than 100 films, including Bridge on the River
Kwai, Thin Red Line, and David Copperfield. His style of music is unapologetically tuneful, very rhythmic with exciting and brilliant orchestration. His 5th symphony is an emotional rollercoaster from the opening oboe solo and evocations of past friends through to the wonderfully memorable tunes of the 2nd movement, the jazz rhythms of the 3rd movement and then the 4th movement with its many exciting mood changes. For this work we have assembled our largest orchestra ever, including a harp, a celeste, three percussion players and a full set of trombones and a tuba. The church will be filled with sound. This symphony is not often played so this is a wonderful opportunity to hear it performed live. The concert is at 6pm on Sunday 27th March in St Peter and St Paul’s Church Lavenham with doors opening from 5.30. Tickets are £15 for adults, £2 for children and are available from early March from the Guildhall in Lavenham, Peddars (King Street, Sudbury) and Sudbury Tourist Information (library).
