St Albans Symphony Orchestra

Saturday 12 October, 7.30pm, St Paul’s Church AL1 4JP

Moberg – ‘Sunrise’ from Sunrise Orchestral Suite
Arutiunian – Trumpet Concerto, with soloist, Shannon Harper
Sibelius – Symphony No. 2

Looking forward to opening the new SASO season with Moberg’s evocative first movement from her 1909 suite. With deceptive simplicity, she conjures up the wide expanse and majesty of a Finnish sunrise. Although the score is relatively spare, the instrumentation is perfect. It builds almost to a roar of warmth and joy, with every instrument discernible throughout.

We are delighted to welcome Shannon Harper as soloist in the Arutiunian concerto. Futher concert details.
