I Got Rhythm - T0189735124Sussex pianist Maria Marchant is fast becoming a favourite with Worthing audiences. Since her debut with WSO in 2019 when she played Shostakovich's Second Piano Concerto, to her vivacious performance of Beethoven's ‘Emperor' Concerto last season, she has shown her remarkable skill and versatility. So there will be great excitement at the prospect of Maria performing two electrifying Gershwin classics - Rhapsody in Blue and I Got Rhythm - in this Friday evening concert at the Assembly Hall. Both combine elements of classical music with jazz-influenced effects and are very evocative of the decades in which they were written - the 1920s/30s, also known as the ‘Jazz Age' in the USA. Feet-tapping will be the order of the day in another Gershwin hit - An American in Paris - as well as Borodin's ever-popular Polotsvian Dances, immortalised for many in the hit musical Kismet. Malcolm Arnold was an avid fan of Bernstein's West Side Story, and his Fourth Symphony combines elements of Bernstein's score with Afro-Caribbean rhythms that reflect his profound sympathy for the Windrush community of Notting Hill, London.Performer Maria Marchant (piano).

Spring Awakenings - T1820278451Laura van der Heijden, BBC Young Musician of the Year 2012, returns with Shostakovich's First Cello Concerto, a powerful work of great intensity and passion. Glinka's famous overture opens the concert in scintillating fashion while the true majesty of a symphony orchestra can be enjoyed in one of Bruckner's most popular symphonies. This music is a blend of lyrical melodies, rich orchestral sonorities and deeply-felt spirituality | |
