Scarborough Orchestra November Concert

Queen Street Methodist Central Hall · Scarborough

Shaun Matthew Conductor Wissam Boustany Flute ​ GEORGE BUTTERWORTH A Shropshire Lad Rhapsody for Orchestra ​​ GERALD FINZI The Fall of the Leaf, Op.20 ​​​ DAVID HEATH Ascencion Concerto for Flute & Orchestra ​​ FLORENCE PRICE Symphony No.3 in C minor Welcome to the opening concert of the season. We open with George Butterworth’s A Shropshire Lad Rhapsody, inspired by A. E. Housman’s poetry collection of the same name. Drawing upon themes from Butterworth’s own songs, particularly Loveliest of Trees, the work is pastoral, elegiac, and deeply poignant. Written before the First World War, it later became inseparably associated with the tragedy of that conflict following Butterworth’s death on the Somme at just 31 years of age. Gerald Finzi’s The Fall of the Leaf (Elegy), Op. 20, continues the programme’s atmosphere of reflection and lyricism. Evoking the beauty of the English countryside, the work combines warmth and serenity with quiet melancholy. Left incomplete at Finzi’s death and later completed by Howard Ferguson, it remains one of his most intimate and heartfelt orchestral works. We are proud to present the world première of Ascension, a Concerto...

Shaun Matthew Conductor Finn Anderson-Hendra Cello ​ JAMES LLOYD Symphony No.1, Norwegian ​​ DMITRI SHOSTAKOVICH Cello Concerto No.1 in Eb major, Op.134 ​​​ ​LUDWIG VAN BEETHOVEN Symphony No.1 in C major, Op.21​ Tonight, we open our concert with James Lloyd’s Norwegian Symphony. A member of the orchestra’s horn section, Lloyd composed the symphony for his wife, Imogen Lloyd, the SSO’s principal cellist, following a holiday to Norway. Inspired by the majesty and atmosphere of the Nordic landscape, the work captures both the grandeur and solitude of Norway’s natural world with vivid imagination and emotional warmth. We are delighted to welcome Finn Anderson-Hendra the second winner of the SSO/YWMF Concerto Competition, for Dmitri Shostakovich’s gripping Cello Concerto No. 1. Written for the legendary cellist Mstislav Rostropovich, the concerto combines sardonic wit, relentless energy, and profound introspection. Its driving rhythms, haunting lyricism, and fiercely demanding solo writing create a work of immense emotional power. We conclude with Ludwig van Beethoven’s Symphony No. 1 in C major, a work that announced the arrival of a bold new symphonic vo...

Shaun Matthew Conductor Francesco Attesti Piano ​ CARL MARIA VON WEBER Der Freischütz Overture ​​ LUDWIG VAN BEETHOVEN Piano Concerto No.5 in Eb major Op.73, Emperor ​​​ PAUL DUKAS Symphony in C major This programme brings together three monumental works of the German and French orchestral traditions, combining drama, virtuosity, and symphonic brilliance. We open with Carl Maria von Weber’s electrifying Der Freischütz Overture, one of the defining works of early German Romanticism. Drawing upon themes from the opera itself, the overture moves from shadowy mystery and supernatural tension to triumphant brilliance, capturing the atmosphere of folklore, drama, and the hunt. Weber’s vivid orchestration and theatrical imagination paved the way for later Romantic composers, including Richard Wagner. We are delighted to welcome internationally renowned pianist Francesco Attesti for Ludwig van Beethoven’s majestic Piano Concerto No. 5 in E-flat major, Op. 73, the celebrated 'Emperor' Concerto. Grand in scale yet deeply lyrical, the concerto represents Beethoven at the height of his creative powers, combining heroic brilliance, serenity, and exuberance in one of the supr...

Shaun Matthew Conductor Adam Quilter Trombone ​​​ IDA MOBERG The Montgomery Variations ​​​ LAUNY GRØNDAHL Concerto for Trombone & Orchestra ​​​​ JEAN SIBELIUS Symphony No.5 in Eb major Op.82 This programme celebrates the rich musical landscapes of the Nordic world, bringing together works of atmosphere, lyricism, and symphonic grandeur. We begin with Ida Moberg’s evocative orchestral suite, Sunrise. A pioneering Finnish composer and contemporary of Jean Sibelius, Moberg was deeply influenced by spirituality, symbolism, and the natural world. Tonight’s featured movement, Stillness, offers music of quiet reflection and expansive beauty, capturing a sense of calm contemplation and transcendence. Former SSO member and soloist Adam Quilter joins us to perform Launy Grøndahl’s much-loved Trombone Concerto, one of the most enduring works ever written for the instrument. Composed in 1924, the concerto reveals the trombone’s remarkable versatility - from bold declamation and dazzling virtuosity to warmth, lyricism, and vocal expressiveness. Grøndahl’s colourful musical language combines energy and elegance, making this concerto a deserved favourite with perf...
