The Bournemouth Chamber Music Society . . . is very pleased to welcome the
Emerald Ensemble to perform the fifth concert in its 2005-2006 season. The
concert is to be held at Talbot Heath School at 3.00pm Saturday, 4th March
and tickets priced £12.50 (students £6.25) will be available
on the door or telephone 01202 658921.
The Emerald Ensemble is a lively and exciting chamber orchestra, able to
perform a variety of repertoire that extends from Baroque to Contemporary
Classical, Jazz and Tango. The centerpiece of the Emerald Ensemble’s
concert provides a rare opportunity to hear perhaps the most famous and
popular of all Haydn’s Symphonies, the “Surprise”, performed
as a stunning chamber work, in the arrangement made by the 18th century
impresario and violinist Johann Salomon. Salomon promoted the immensely
popular concerts given by Haydn on his visits to London. An apocryphal story
claims that the “surprise” – a sudden very loud chord in
the middle of a very quiet and famous tune – was intended to wake up
the ladies of the audience who had perhaps dozed off after over-indulgence
during the interval. Hopefully the tea and biscuits available during the
interval of our concert will not cause similar problems! The concert also
includes Arvo Pärt’s popular and atmospheric “Fratres”,
one of the most easily accessible of late 20th century compositions. Rossini’s
1st String Sonata, and a flute sextet by John Mash complete a varied, balanced
and interesting programme.
