SEASONAL CONCERT FULL OF PROMISE

Henley Standard
Mon, October 13, 2008
UK

THE Autumn concert of the Langtree Sinfonia this year features music
from sunny climes and the chance to catch a world première.

In addition, music from one of Vienna’s most celebrated sons will
surely entice any keen concert goer. The concert will be held in
Christchurch, Reading Road, Henley on Saturday, November 15 at 7pm.

Conductor Paul Cox starts the evening with Verdi’s overture The Force
of Destiny, a superb and dramatic start to any evening.

Sam Cave will then perform Rodrigo’s Fantasia para un gentilhombre
of 1954. This piece recalls 17th century dance tunes, presenting them
in new and sensuous orchestration to give them new life.

Sam started playing guitar in Cornwall, winning prizes for classical
guitar in the North Devon and Cornwall County Music Festival in 2004
and 2005.

In 2005 he started studying with the great Armenian guitarist, Gilbert
Biberian. He is currently studing guitar and lute at Southampton
University for his BA (hons) in music.

A world première is next, with the first performance of Enigma,
by Clive Pierce. Orchestra spokesman Nick Kiff said: "It will be a
special privilege to play this piece, as the opportunity to première
a new piece comes quite rarely.

"It is a delightful piece, suggestive of the English pastoral
tradition, yet clearly of the 21st century."

The evening will be rounded off with Schubert’s much loved Third
Symphony.

Tickets are available at the door, on 0118 941 5498 or from
Inspiration, The Arcade, High Street, Goring, priced £7.50 for adults,
patrons £6.50 and students £3.50.
