  • Description

Worthing Symphony Orchestra return for another exceptional concert with Soloist Jeneba Kanneh-Mason.

Programme:
Dvorak - Czech Suite
Mozart - Piano Concerto No. 23 in A major
Dina Appeldoorn - Pastorale
Mendelssohn - Italian symphony

One of the hugely talented Kanneh-Mason family, Jeneba Kanneh-Mason returns to play what is arguably Mozart’s most popular Piano Concerto (No. 23) with its intensely beautiful F# minor slow movement and outer movements that glow with a sense of contentment and seemingly endless lyricism.

Dvorak’s sunny Czech Suite perfectly incorporates exuberant folk melodies alongside the bucolic sounds of the countryside to produce wonderful foot-tapping dances.

Dina Appeldorm was a romantic Dutch composer who worked as a piano teacher and accompanist She composed works across many genres, especially songs. Her Pastorale of 1934 is an evocative work for chamber orchestra.

Mendelssohn’s Italian Symphony is a brilliant evocation of the sights and sounds of the Italy he experienced on a two year trip around the country in the 1830s. The work glows with warmth and radiates joie de vivre, especially in the exuberantly whirling ‘saltarello’ finale.
