SUMMARY:Henleaze Concert Society: Eastern Echoes
DESCRIPTION:Béla Bartók Romanian Folk Dances\nFrédéric Chopin Piano Concerto No.2 Op.21\nDmitri Shostakovich Gadfly Suite\nFranz Liszt Hungarian Rhapsodies 2 and 9 arr. strings \nViv Mclean piano \nOur season opens with Béla Bartók’s Romanian Folk Dances\, a vibrant suite composed in 1915 amid the turmoil of the First World War. Drawing on fiddle tunes he collected from the Transylvanian countryside\, Bartók captures the raw energy and charm of traditional peasant music—from the flirtatious Sash Dance to the proud swagger of the Stick Dance. \nFolk influences also shine in Franz Liszt’s Hungarian Rhapsodies. Written in 1851\, Rhapsody No. 2 – described by Liszt as “truly Hungarian” – is a beloved showpiece\, while No. 9 blends authentic folk melodies with brilliant improvisatory flair\, creating a dazzling display of virtuosity and color. \nDmitri Shostakovich’s Gadfly Suite brings cinematic drama to the concert hall. Composed for the 1955 Soviet film The Gadfly\, it follows the tale of a 19th-century Austrian revolutionary. The suite includes the dashing Galop and the lush\, unforgettable Romance. \nWe close with the lyrical beauty of Frédéric Chopin’s Piano Concerto No. 2\, composed in 1829 when he was just 20 years old. Premiered in Warsaw to a sold-out audience with Chopin himself at the keyboard\, this concerto showcases the composer’s gift for haunting melodies and brilliant pianism. The central Adagio\, tender and romantic\, was inspired by his youthful infatuation with soprano Konstancja Gładkowska. \nPre-concert talk with Steve Clarke begins at 6.45pm. Doors open at 6.15pm for the talk and at 7.15pm for the concert only. If coming to the concert only\, we should be grateful if you would try to avoid arriving during the talk. \nIndividual concert prices \nTickets for Henleaze Concert Society members £17.50\nTickets for non members £21\nUnder 25 year olds £5 \nThe ticket price includes the pre concert talk\, a programme and interval drink. \nHow to book \nBook tickets online – see below \nYou can also book by sending a cheque payable to Henleaze Concert Society\, covering note and SAE to 2 Saville Mews\, Kingsdown Parade\, Bristol BS6 5UL \nTickets are available on the door from 6.15pm. \nSeason Tickets and Annual Society Membership \nSeason tickets are only £100 including Society Membership and admission to all six concerts from September to July.
