Bardi Symphony Orchestra - 40th Anniversary Concert
Jonathan Lo conductor
Thomas Kelly piano
Bardi Symphony Orchestra
Gershwin Cuban Overture
Rachmaninov Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini
Mottram 40th Anniversary Commission
Elgar Enigma Variations
Audience favourite Jonathan Lo returns to the Bardi for the Orchestra's 40th Anniversary Concert exploring friendship and joy in music.
As each movement is inspired by one of Elgar's friends, Jonathan specifically chose the Enigma Variations for this concert to celebrate friendship rooted in music, which he rightly sees as one of the foundations of the Bardi Symphony Orchestra.
The Elgar is mirrored by Rachmaninov’s sparkling variations in his Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini in the first half, with Liszt Piano Competition finalist Thomas Kelly as soloist. Gershwin’s Cuban Overture will give the concert a swinging start, while a newly commissioned celebratory work by Paul Mottram – one of the Orchestra’s first violinists and an acclaimed composer for television and film – completes what promises to be a truly special occasion.
