Forest Philharmonic Orchestra

Programme:
Rossini William Tell Overture
Bottesini Double Bass Concerto No. 2
Walton Symphony No. 1

Conductor Mark Shanahan
Double Bass Lachlan Radford

Although almost two hundred years old, Rossini’s William Tell Overture has lost none of its appeal and vigour. It is one of the most recognisable pieces of classical music, having featured in films from Disney to A Clockwork Orange and of course as the theme tune to The Lone Ranger TV series.

They continue to showcase their lower strings with a charming double bass concerto, and the evening closes triumphantly with Walton’s First Symphony.
