Classic FM Hall of Fame

Enjoy an evening featuring six of the greatest works in classical music! Join the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra at Lighthouse, Poole on Saturday 7 March for Classic FM Hall of Fame conducted by Tom Fetherstonhaugh. This is a great concert for both classical music fanatics and first-time audiences, with recognizable pieces sure to be enjoyed by all.Rossini’s bright and sunny overture preludes one of the most famous and popular of all concertos, suffused with the sun-drenched melodies and balmy atmosphere of southern Spain; its achingly beautiful slow movement is perhaps the most sublime pieces of music ever written. The Spanish passion continues with Chabrier’s dazzling rhapsody and Rimsky-Korsakov’s vibrant and colourful suite. In contrast, Borodi evokes the sweeping plains of central Asia, whilst nightmarish visions abound in Mussorgsky’s dark and brooding depiction of a Witches Sabbath.Works and composers:Rossini - The Barber of Seville OvertureRodrigo - Concierto de AranjuezChabrier - EspañaMussorgsky - A Night on the Bare MountainBorodin - In the Steppes of Central AsiaRimsky-Korsakov - Capriccio EspagnolThis concert is part of their BSO Pops series – this fantastic array of concerts include popular classics that you will recognize from TV and adverts to full- blown symphonic Spectaculars showcasing the music of the likes of Queen, ABBA and Pink Floyd and outdoor extravaganzas at Meyrick Park in Bournemouth.
