City of Cardiff Symphony Orchestra
When: Tuesday 17th February 2009 - 8pm
Where: St Augustine's Church, Penarth
Featuring Dewi Watkins (Cello, WNO), CCSO will be playing three magnificent works in Penarth. Cardiff's own Symphony Orchestra performs three inspirational works at St Augustine’s Church, Albert Road, Penarth on Tuesday 17 February (8pm).
Joined by soloist Dewi Watkins (Cello, Welsh National Opera), City of Cardiff Symphony Orchestra will be performing Schumann’s cello concerto. Considered one of Schumann’s most adventurous works, this is sure to be a treat for the audience.
Celebrating his 200th birthday, CCSO will be performing Mendelssohn’s Italian Symphony, a work inspired by his travels in Italy. Although never performed in his lifetime, Mendelssohn described the work as his ‘jolliest’.
Finally, the orchestra will complete this fascinating programme with a performance of Schubert’s Overture in an Italian style.
Tickets are available at the door from 19:40 (£8 / £6 concessions), but it is advisable to purchase tickets in advance to avoid disappointment. Tickets can be reserved by emailing justinhorton72@btinternet.com.
