A joint fundraising concert featuring Rugby Recorder Ensemble and Leicestershire’s Phoenix Saxophone Orchestra, playing together for the very first time.
This concert provides a unique opportunity to experience the sight and sound of more than 30 musicians playing 14 different instruments, many of which you may never have seen before.
The concert will feature separate ensemble pieces from Rugby Recorders and Phoenix, plus a joint piece - Viadana’s Sinfonia ‘La Bergamasca’ - and the world premiere performance of Steve Marshall’s ‘Concertino’, a concerto for recorders and solo soprano saxophone, to be played by Samuel Beddard.
Rugby Recorder Ensemble plays eight different types of recorder - sopranino, descant, alto, tenor, bass, great bass, contrabass and sub bass.
Phoenix Saxophone Orchestra features six different types of saxophone, from the tiny sopranino through the more commonly seen soprano, alto, tenor and baritone saxophones, to the giant bass sax. The orchestra plays a varied repertoire that ably demonstrates the versatility of the saxophone. From light classical music, jazz and big band favourites to modern pop tunes, there’s something to appeal to all musical tastes.
All profits from the concert will go to Rugby’s Myton Hospice...
