Schubert Symphony no 2
Bruch Violin Concerto no 1 in G minor
Beethoven Symphony no 6 'Pastoral'

conductor Toby Purser
Soloist Michael Foyle

The East Anglia Chamber Orchestra returns to the West Road Concert Hall with an attractive and ambitious programme that features two symphonies and a fabulous concerto. Under the baton of the gifted and inspiring Toby Purser the programme begins with Schubert’s delightful Second Symphony. Inspired by Beethoven, Schubert began this tuneful symphony in 1814, just after leaving school.

We are then joined by the wonderful Michael Foyle, professor of violin at the Royal Academy. Famed for the elegance and conviction of his playing, Michael will perform Bruch’s Violin Concerto in G minor. Considered to be one of the four great German violin concertos, Bruch’s first concerto was premiered by Joachim in 1868.

Our programme concludes with Beethoven’s well-known and well-loved Sixth Symphony. As the only symphony for which Beethoven provided a programme note, the Pastoral expresses his love for the natural world.

With superb Schubert, passionate and energising Bruch, and a walk through the countryside with Beethoven the concert is sure to appeal to all. So, join us for a wonderful evening of marvellous music-making!
