    Bristol Concert Orchestra: Mozart Sinfonia Concertante for wind and Shostakovich Symphony No.10

    Bristol Concert Orchestra
    Jessica Mogridge (oboe)
    Nicholas Shipman (clarinet)
    Claire Wadsworth (bassoon)
    Jamie Thomas (horn)
    Stefan Hofkes (conductor)

    Mozart: Sinfonia Concertante for Wind
    Ibert: Hommage à Mozart
    Shostakovich: Symphony No.10

    In this concert of two halves, the orchestra will perform Shostakovich's Symphony No.10 - to quote the composer himself: “Music is a means capable of expressing dark dramatism and pure rapture, suffering and ecstasy, fiery and cold fury, melancholy and wild merriment”. All these elements and more are to be found in this fascinating work. Contrasting this: two ‘Hommages à Mozart’, the charming wind quartet version of Mozart’s Sinfonia Concertante, and Ibert’s 200th birthday present from 1956.


    There will be a retiring collection in aid of Friends of Kampala Music School.

    Tickets: £13, £11, £9, £8 (concessions available), children £1 are available from St George's Bristol: 0845 40 24 001 or book online:
