Tom Marlow bassoon
Jessica Conway violin
Sarah Morpurgo flute
John Stringer conductor

Benjamin Gait            trees and paths I loved fade (first performance)
Elgar                       Romance for bassoon
Martinu                    Double Concerto for flute and violin
Beethoven               Symphony no. 8 in F op. 98

Beethoven's effervescent symphony is well known, but this concert includes two rarities that should not be missed: Elgar's Romance is a short and poetic work for solo bassoon and Martinu's subtle pairing of flute and violin soloists is irresistible.   The concert opens with this year's commission for the Chamber Orchestra.
