| Description: | - Concerto for Double Bass - Cimador (Nathanael Thomas - Atkin) - Romeo and Juliet Overture - Tchaikovsky - Midsummer Nights Dream - Mendelssohn - The Merchant of Venice Suite - Sullivan - Montagues and Capulets (The Apprentice Theme)- Prokofiev This year we commemorate 400 years since the death of William Shakespeare. Directed by Mike Wood BEM, the orchestra will mark this event with an exciting series of works based on some of his many plays. For this concert, the orchestra gets to portray the romantic drama in Tchaikovsky’s Romeo and Juliet Overture along with the warring Montagues and Capulets, while later on impersonating the donkey in Mendellsohn’s Midsummer Night’s Dream! Sullivan’s Merchant of Venice suite is cheeky, buoyant, and full of surprises. It’s not often that you get the chance to hear a double bass concerto in your home town. Our resident double bass player (and the youngest member of the orchestra) Nathanael, takes centre stage to perform this for us. He is sure to give a stunning performance. |
