Elizabeth Maconchy – Bassoon Concertino – Amy Harman
May 17th 2025 at 19:30 – 21:30
We’re very pleased to welcome Rebecca Miller as conductor for this diverse and enthralling evening of music.
The concert begins with Coleridge-Taylor’s delightful Petite Suite de Concert, followed by the intriguing and seldom heard Bassoon Concertino by Elizabeth Maconchy, featuring the extraordinarily talented Amy Harman as soloist, who is currently principal bassoon with the Aurora Orchestra.
The evening reaches its climax with a performance of Shostakovich’s monumental Tenth Symphony – an astounding achievement in symphonic form at a time when most western composers had abandoned the symphony.
Celebrated for her energetic and compelling presence on the podium, Rebecca Miller is a champion of unjustly-neglected female composers.
Join her for a free pre-concert talk at 7pm.
