Dear concertgoer,

Our 2024-25 season opens on October 5th at  Holy Trinity Church, Guildford, with three distinctive and characterful works.  

Vaughan Williams – Wasps Overture
Ravel – Piano Concerto in G Major
Sibelius – Symphony No. 3
 
Conductor: Phil Ellis
Piano soloist: Antoine Préat
Orchestra: Surrey Mozart Players
Leader: Annmarie McDade
7.30.p.m.
Holy Trinity Church, High Street Guildford, GU1 3RR

The concert opens with the Wasps Overture offering a bustling succession of tunes in the best traditional Vaughan Williams style.  Gifted young pianist, Antoine Préat is the soloist for Ravel’s Piano Concerto in G Major.  Expect flamboyant music with a lightness of touch to delight the mind and senses but with depths of feeling beneath its glittering surfaces.  Finnish folk influences are to the fore in the 3rd Symphony by Sibelius – good-natured, triumphant and deceptively simple sounding, this is a delight.  The concert marks the beginning of the second full season for the SMP under the baton of Music Director, Philip Ellis and is a wonderful opportunity to hear some thrilling music live in the heart of Guildford in the historic surroundings and wonderful acoustic of Holy Trinity Church.  

Tickets are now available via Eventbrite and will also be available at rehearsals. Adults £21.00; 21s and under £5
