Alice Mary Smith - Andante for Clarinet & Orchestra
Soloist: Sarah Williamson
~
Brahms - Symphony No. 2 in D Major
We close our season with an exciting programme that opens with Alice Mary Smith’s Endymion Overture. After having performed Smith’s previously unheard Lalla Rookh Overture in our 23/24 season, we are uncovering another of her overtures which has not been published or recorded before.
We then welcome clarinettist Sarah Williamson to perform Smith’s Andante for Clarinet and Orchestra and Mozart’s beautiful Clarinet Concerto. Renowned as a virtuoso clarinettist whose talent has been recognised by concert-goers and critics alike. BBC Music Magazine wrote of Sarah: ‘A tenacious player like Williamson doesn’t need gimmicks – her sonorous timbre and natural musicality speak for themselves.’ The Independent hailed her as a ‘superb player’; and The Telegraph praised Sarah’s ‘blend of languor and exuberance.’
We close our 24/25 season with Brahms’ beautiful Symphony No. 2 in D Major.
