Henleaze Concert Society: Majesty and Grace

Part of the Henleaze Concert Society 2019-20

Add to my Calendar 12-10-2019 19:30 12-10-2019 21:30 36 Henleaze Concert Society: Majesty and Grace Pre-concert talk with David Bednall at 6.45pm The 2019-2020 Henleaze Concert Society season begins in majestic style with a performance of Beethoven's Symphony No. 8, a work of universal appeal, full of athleticism and unbridled elation. The symphony is a masterpiece of harmonic invention, posing questions and tantalising the listener. It is paired with another work which focuses on distinctive thematic elements, Strauss's Oboe Concerto. Written in 1945, it was one of the last works composed near the end of the composer's life and is graceful and charming. The concert opens with Mendelssohn's well-loved, lyrical Hebridesoverture. Trinity Henleaze URC Church, Bristol DD/MM/YYYY
