Maidstone Symphony Orchestra – CHANGE OF PROGRAMME

Clarinetist, Mark Simpson is unfortunately not now available as soloist on 1 February. He was due to play the Copland Clarinet concerto.

By great good fortune, international soloist Emma Johnson is available on that date and has worked with Brian Wright before on a number of occasions. She will be playing Gerald Finzi’s Clarinet Concerto in place of the Copland – a work she knows and loves well. Written in 1949, the clarinet concerto is possibly his most famous instrumental work, with its infectious lyricism and charm coupled with a strong emotional core. She has recorded the work, together with the Stanford Clarinet Concerto, with the RPO under Sir Charles Groves.

For bookings for individual concerts please telephone MSO Ticket Secretary Alan Veal on 01622 735 830 or for bookings by credit card contact the box office at Maidstone Leisure Centre on 0845 155 2277.
