Suffolk Youth Music: Gala Concert
Suffolk Youth Wind Band
Conductor Vincent Taber
Opening the concert with a programme ranging from Clare Grundman’s A Classical Overture, through the light-hearted Three Northumbrian Sketches by Derek Hobbs, to the big-screen with John Williams’ Harry Potter Suite, and concludes with the exciting and ever-popular Queen in Concert.
Suffolk Young Strings
Conductor Rosilind Seeley
Leader Joanne Rose
A selection of items from the repertoire studied this year, covering a variety of styles and influences: Woodsplitter Fanfare, Haydn’s Symphony in G major; a suite from Delibes’ ballet, Coppélia; and Danny Rocks (A Celtic Explosion), an arrangement by Bob Phillips of traditional Celtic melodies.
Suffolk Youth Orchestra
Conductor Philip Shaw
Leader Elliot Bryant
Concluding the concert with one of Rachmaninov’s most popular works, his Symphony No.2 in E minor - an unabashedly expansive work firmly in the late Romantic tradition, that washes over the listener with its ‘sumptuous sonorities and seemingly endless melodies’.

Suffolk Youth Music - Gala Concert
The final concert of the season, given jointly by the three County Ensembles, the flagships of the wide ranging programme of musical opportunities available to young Suffolk musicians through Suffolk County Music Service.
Since recruiting for this season’s ensembles last October, the County Ensembles have again each had a busy and highly successful season, performing to audiences at home and abroad. Commencing with intensive rehearsing before Christmas, followed by the annual residential course at Easter, further rehearsals in July, concerts and overseas tours, it has been a very rewarding season, with notable highlights, and a succession of musical events presented to the highest possible standards.
