ENTITLED, the Remembrance Concert, Southern Sinfonia are to return to the Brewhouse for their third house concert with special guest, international Oboist Nicholas Daniel.

The evening will be a timely reflection of music and poetry, written by composers (on both sides) during the First World War.

Nicholas Daniel’s long and distinguished career began at the age of 18 when he won the BBC Young Musician of the Year Competition.

At his debut at the BBC Proms in 1992, the Sunday Times described him as "one of the greatest exponents of the oboe in the world". Today he is one of the UK’s most distinguished soloists, as well as an increasingly successful conductor, and is an important ambassador for music and musicians. In recognition of this, he was awarded the Queen’s Medal for Music for 2011. The Guardian refer to him as a formidable virtuoso.

The evenings’ programme.

Elgar’s sublime Serenade for Strings. Three movements of joyous and, at times, beautifully soft and elegant reverie, make this one of Elgar's best loved works.

Oboe Concerto by Paul Carr. Written for Nicholas Daniel, is a work of real distinction. It is hugely poignant with heartfelt emotions that reflect a very difficult and challenging time in the composer’s life.

Reger's The Lyriche Andante is a small noisette of a piece, not typical of the other Germanic repertoire of the time. It is charming work and rarely heard.

Resphigi - The Ancient Airs and Dances. From this we will hear the 3rd suite scored only for Strings. A work which displays huge versatility.

Satie - The Gymnopedies. Best known in their piano incarnations, in this concert we will hear them in an arrangement just for strings.

Returning to the baton once more is internationally renowned Conductor Simon Chalk. Simon is the Artistic Conductor of Sinfonia and Chief Conductor of the Slovak Sinfonietta. In addition to these busy roles he continues to undertake guest appearances with internationally renowned ensembles such as Il Divo and, most recently, Russell Watson.

Southern Sinfonia with Nicholas Daniel. Saturday, July 30 at 7.30pm. Tickets £22.
