At this time of Remembrance this month it is fitting that the forthcoming concert of the Havant Symphony Orchestra (HSO) is a musical reflection on the theme of ‘War and Peace’, taking place at the Oaklands Concert Hall, Oaklands Catholic School, Waterlooville on Saturday 30 November at 7.30pm.
The uplifting programme showcases an exquisite selection of well-known masterpieces including Tchaikovsky’s ‘1812 Overture’, Walton’s ‘Spitfire, Prelude & Fugue’, ‘Mars’ and ‘Venus’ from ‘The Planets’ by Holst, and the moving ‘Hymn to the Fallen’ by John Williams from the soundtrack to Saving Private Ryan.
The HSO is a vibrant mix of professional musicians and gifted amateur players of all ages which, under the umbrella of registered charity, Havant and District Orchestral Society, is dedicated to providing players and audiences the opportunity to experience a wide and enriching range of classical music.
We are delighted that this concert will be under the baton of guest conductor Major Steve Green of the Royal Marines Band Service. Please do join us for the enthralling experience of watching a live orchestral performance!
