The East Anglia Chamber Orchestra is delighted to return to the West Road Concert Hall in Cambridge with another attractive programme that illustrates the influence and interdependence of musicians and composers. Under the skilful baton of Dominic Grier, the concert will open with the delightful Third Symphony by Schubert. Written in 1815, when Schubert was 18 years old, and modelled on the works of Mozart, Haydn and Beethoven, this symphony has an admirable freshness and lyrical vitality. The Nielsen Flute Concerto, written in 1926 for Holger Gilbert-Jespersen, captures the famous flautist’s personality and will be performed by the hugely talented Zara Jealous. Ruth Gipp was a contemporary and friend of Malcolm Arnold at the R.C.M. in the early 1940s. The theme, which is taken from Gipp’s Coronation March (1953), inspired Arnold to produce a colourful set of orchestral variations. Prague was a city that adored Mozart, and the composer admired Bohemian wind playing. When he arrived in the city in 1787, he brought the newly completed Symphony No. 38, known as The Prague. 

Join us for a wonderful evening of marvellous and inspiring music-making.
