ADRIAN BROWN 40TH ANNIVERSARY CONCERT

Berlioz Le Corsaire Overture 

Brahms Violin Concerto 
Soloist Michael Foyle

Senter Proem 

Sibelius Symphony No 5 

To launch Adrian Brown’s 40^th Season with Bromley Symphony Orchestra, the programme for our first concert is a repeat of Adrian’s first concert with us in 1980. Berlioz’s thrillingly vital overture Le Corsaire is followed by Brahms’ eloquent Violin Concerto, with Michael Foyle, one of the UK’s finest violinists, as soloist. The only departure from the 1980 concert is the glowing work Proem composed by John Senter, an old friend of Adrian’s, from our composers’ competition. We conclude this celebration with Sibelius’ expansive and aspirational Fifth Symphony.
