Nottingham Philharmonic Orchestra - Walton Symphony No 1

Callum Smart and Ben Goldscheider have been regular visitors to Nottinghamshire, having both performed as soloists with the NPO in Southwell Minster and the Albert Hall. We are delighted to welcome them back and this time they will be performing together in Ethel Smyth's concerto for violin and French Horn.

Martin Ellerby will need no introduction to Nottinghamshire, as he was born in nearby Worksop. His music has been broadcast and recorded all over the world by leading ensembles and performed at prestigious venues including the Royal Albert Hall, Royal Festival Hall, St. Paul’s Cathedral, Barbican and Wigmore Halls in London. A 7 year post as civilian composer-in-residence to the Regimental Band of Her Majesty’s Coldstream Guards resulted in much music for specific State events, Royal occasions and overseas tours. www.martinellerby.com [//www.martinellerby.com]

Walton's 1st symphony will end our season; a work which shows the influence of Sibelius in its musical structure.
