Winchelsea Arts are delighted to present
Hastings Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Marcio da Silva
Saturday 18 May 2024 at 7.30pm, Winchelsea Church, Winchelsea, TN36 4EB
Mozart – Serenade No 10 K.361 Gran Partita
Dvořák – Serenade for wind instruments Op. 44
Mozart’s Serenade was made famous by the inclusion of the second movement in Peter Shaffer’s film and play ‘Amadeus’ in which the character of Salieri said, ‘This was a music I’d never heard… It seemed to me that I was hearing the voice of God.’ The piece is scored for 12 wind instruments and double bass, a unique combination for the era in which it was written.
In May 2024 it will be 120 years since Dvořák‘s death and his wind serenade features many references to the Slavonic style of his homeland.
We look forward to welcoming you to the final concert in the 2023-4 season at which information on 2024-5 will be available. There will be an opportunity to purchase tickets for the new season during the interval.
