Bristol Concert Orchestra • Eloisa-Fleur Thom (violin) • Stefan Hofkes (conductor)
Saturday 1 December, 2018
St George's Bristol, 7:30pm
Humperdinck Hansel and Gretel Overture
Mendelssohn Violin Concerto
Mahler Symphony No.1
Engelbert Humperdinck's charming overture to Hansel & Gretel leaves a tantalising trail of breadcrumbs towards the two musical masterpieces to follow:
Mendelssohn's effervescent and hugely popular Violin Concerto (with superb soloist Eloisa-Fleur Thom who is sure to impress with both the stunning virtuosity and soaring lyricism of her playing), and Mahler's 1st Symphony - from the astonishing opening, through the funeral march based on 'Frère Jacques' to the joyous finale, this symphony displays Mahler at his youthful and exuberant best.
There will be a retiring collection for Children's Hospice South West.
