Grieg Piano Concerto with soloist Samantha Ward.

Aaron Copland - Billy the Kid Suite,

Carl Nielsen - Sinfonia Espansiva

Paul Painter - The Send Off

This November's concert has great variety; an ever-popular classic concerto; Copland's well-known music surrounding the american hero Billy the Kid, and one of Nielsen's wonderfully expansive and expressive symphonies.We have played music by both Copland and Nielsen before, and the audience reception has been very warm and enthusiastic so we thought we would give you all some more.

MinJung Baek, who last played the Rachmaninov 2nd Concerto with us in November 2013 is unfortunately not able to appear on this occasion. However, we have the great pleasure of Samantha Ward instead. Regular ESO supporters will remember two fine concerto performances by this young lady in earlier seasons - the last being 2013.

The November concert is always around or close to Remembrance day and it is with great pleasure that we shall be performing a song for baritone and orchestra by a one time member of the orchestra, and a musician who is very well known in musical circles in the West Country - Paul Painter.
