An evening of French Romance in Cheam
Last year Sutton Symphony Orchestra brought an evening of Russian romance to St Andrew’s URC Cheam, this year it’s the turn of the French as the winter programme includes three fabulously Romantic pieces by French composers.
Bizet’s Roma Symphony is up first. It took 11 years to write with endless revisions and tweaking required until perfection was achieved. At least we can rest assured that after so much effort it is worth the wait. Sadly for Bizet, the premiere came after his death, but at least he had heard all 4 movements separately in his lifetime.
Daniel Brandon, Sutton Grammar School student and winner of the concerto class at the 2017 Sutton Music Festival then takes centre stage with Saint Saens 1st cello concerto. Played as a single flowing movement it’s a really stunning piece full of lyrical tunes that really show off the instrument .
Debussy’s epic La Mer or The sea, three symphonic sketches for orchestra forms the second half. La Mer took a mere 18 months to write and was completed while Debussy was living in Eastbourne… clearly he found the sea there very inspiring. Although Debussy didn’t like the term himself, La Mer is usually describe as impressionistic - the musical equivalent of Monet’s paintings – so let the music wash over you and your imagination take over.
7.30pm start, tickets from https://www.wegottickets.com/event/451609 or on the door: adults £10, under 18s free. Cakes at the interval.
