Advert: Bath Philharmonia

Foden's play Janaceks Sinfonietta with Bath Philharmonia Orchestra

Fodens
 

The current British Open champion, Foden will be performing Janacek’s masterpiece 'Sinfonietta', with Bath Philharmonia orchestra in December.

Inspired

Inspired by hearing military brass bands in his native Czech homeland, Janacek composed the 'Sinfonietta' in 1926 for orchestra and massed brass.

Beethoven

The concert will begin with Bath Phil performing Beethoven’s witty 'Eighth Symphony', followed by Foden’s classic brass band repertoire including a specially commissioned jazz-based tuba concerto and Wilby’s virtuosic 'Paganini Variations'. The concert concludes with the 'Sinfonietta'.

This piece is massive and will take the roof off The Forum. I cannot wait to hear the sound produced on stage by ninety musicians from such radically different traditionsPhil Jason Thornton

Massive

Music Director of Bath Phil Jason Thornton told 4BR: "This piece is massive and will take the roof off The Forum. I cannot wait to hear the sound produced on stage by ninety musicians from such radically different traditions. It will be thrilling, awe inspiring and certainly unique."

Details

The concert will be held at The Forum, Bath at 8pm on Thursday 4th December. It is in aid of the Forever Friends Appeal for a brand new Neo Natal Intensive Care Unit at the Royal United Hospital, Bath.
