For the first concert of the 2019-2020 season, the Wolsey Orchestra is delighted to welcome Hungarian-born violinist Tamás Fejes to perform the Violin Concerto by local composer Chris Wright. Chris has had a long association with orchestra both as a player in the trombone section and as a composer. We have performed two of his other orchestral works in recent years - Momentum in 2010 and Manoeuvres in 2002. Maybe more poignently, Chris' wife Ruth, who lead the second violins in the orchestra for many years died in autumn 2009, and we feel it is hugely appropriate that we will be performing Chris' Violin Concerto, which is dedicated to Ruth, on the 10th anniversary of her death.
On a lighter note, Guiseppe Verdi is probably most well-known as an operatic composer, and his operatic overtures frequently find their way into a purely concert setting. After starting with Verdi's overture to the Force of Destiny, the orchestra will conclude the concert with Schumann's lively symphonic masterpiece - his Symphony No.3 in E flat major "Rhenish".
