Professional chamber orchestra Southern Pro Musica is promising Great Classics, the title of its concert on Saturday, May 17 at 7.30pm in St Paul’s Church, Chichester.
Under artistic and musical director Jonathan Willcocks, its programme features Mendelssohn’s Italian Symphony, Rodrigo Concierto d’Aranjuez with guitarist Amanda Cook as soloist and Beethoven’s Symphony No 8.
“Southern Pro Musica have been working for 35 years, giving concerts across the south of England,” Jonathan says, “It has become established as the leading freelance professional orchestra across the south. Usually our concerts are in partnership with choirs or at Chichester Festival Theatre where we do children’s concerts but it struck us that Chichester does not have regular professional orchestral concerts so two years ago we decided to take the plunge and do an orchestral concert at St Paul’s which has got a lovely acoustic. It went very well and so we did another one last year and now this is the third one in our series at St Paul’s.”
