Next Concert:
Saturday 17th May 2025 7.30pm 
St Laurence's Church, Ludlow

 
Dvorak: Overture ‘Othello’ Op. 93
Prokofiev: Violin Concerto No. 1
Walton: Suite from ‘Henry V’
Tchaikovsky: Fantasy Overture
‘Romeo and Juliet’


Leader: Claire Tocknell
Conductor: Jonathan Lyness
Violin: Gina McCormack
 

Four fabulous works make up this great programme from the Ludlow Orchestra. Following recent performances at St. Laurence's with both the LO and the Brodsky Quartet, violinist Gina McCormack makes a welcome return to perform Prokofiev’s lush, romantic and devilishly difficult first violin concerto. Three Shakespearean works make up the rest of the programme; Dvorak’s inspired and dramatic concert overture Othello, Walton’s effervescent music from Laurence Olivier’s film of Henry V, and Tchaikovsky’s blisteringly passionate Romeo and Juliet.

St Laurence's Church, Ludlow


Joseph Haydn: Symphony No. 100 ‘Military’
Camille Saint-Saëns: Cello Concerto No. 1 in A minor
Louise Farrenc: Symphony No. 3 in G minor



Leader: Claire Tocknell
Conductor: Jonathan Lyness
Cello: Graham Walker


Three fabulous works make up this autumn programme from the Ludlow Orchestra. Louise Farrenc’s music has recently achieved huge popularity, and her Third Symphony from 1847 is brimming with intensity, beauty and Parisian ‘joie de vivre’. The orchestra are delighted to welcome back Graham Walker to perform Saint-Saëns’ astonishing Cello Concerto No. 1, and the concert opens with Haydn’s exhilarating ‘Military’ Symphony, with its high spirits, novelty percussion, catchy military music and the trumpet’s ‘call to arms’.
