Worthing Symphony Orchestra present their latest sensational concert.

Programme:
John Williams - Star Wars Suite
Barbara Thompson - Saxophone Concerto
Malcolm Arnold - Symphony No. 6
John Williams - Adventures on Earth (E.T)

The sensational Saxophonist and BBC presenter Jess Gillam returns to Worthing with Barbara Thompson’s Saxophone Concerto. Barbara was an extraordinary pioneer, captivated by the jazz world of Duke Ellington and John Coltrane, she formed her own band Paraphernalia and performed alongside Jon Hiseman, her husband, in the acclaimed jazz/rock band Colosseum. Many have heard her playing the titles for ‘A Touch of Frost’.

John Williams is one of Hollywood’s most famous film composers and his iconic scores to Stars Wars and E.T. are justly firm repertoire favourites.

Malcolm Arnold’s Sixth Symphony was composed during his Cornish period in St Merryn, near Padstow. It includes allusions to jazz saxophonist Charlie Parker, an elegiac slow movement and a rousing finale which nods at Shostakovich’s Festival Overture.
