Rossini – Bassoon Concerto
October 6th 2024 at 15:00 – 16:30
Conductor Dominic Grier
Bassoon Siping Guo
Beethoven — Leonore Overture No.3
Rossini — Bassoon Concerto
Dvořák — Symphony No.8 in G major
The Worthing Philharmonic Orchestra begins its season with this uplifting concert of orchestral favourites. Plus, a new commission from the WPO’s Composer-in-Residence, Ansel Chaloner-Hughes.
Beethoven’s dramatic overture, one of three originally composed for the opera he eventually called Fidelio, is among his most well-loved works and will provide a rousing start to the WPO’s concert season.
Ansel Chaloner-Hughes, who has recently been engaged by the WPO as its resident composer, will present his first full-scale work for the orchestra — his approachable and energetic style is sure to complement the drama of the other works on the programme.
Young bassoonist Siping Guo makes his debut with the orchestra to play Rossini’s tuneful concerto, a rarely heard gem and a brilliant showcase for the instrument.
To round off the afternoon, Dvořák’s ever-popular and sunlit Symphony No. 8 presents all the virtuosity, energy, lyricism and dramatic flair of a composer at the peak of his compositional powers. It rightly remains one of the most frequently performed of all late nineteenth-century symphonies.

This time, here he is sharing a handful of masterpieces from the harpsichord, with his faithful from the ‘Philhar’, in the spirit of the Zimmerman café concerts which flourished in Leipzig during Bach’s time.
