Biggest and best yet - that is the Jersey Chamber Orchestra concert on Saturday 30 January in aid of Autism Jersey. Playing with the Jersey Chamber Orchestra will be possibly the world’s best viola player, Lawrence Power, and his duetting partner, the Grammy nominated violinist, Marianne Thorsen. The evening with the Jersey Chamber Orchestra will feature some of the most famous and exciting classics. The overture is a series of Romanian Dances, and following that the two star soloists will perform Mozart’s Sinfonia Concertante for violin, viola and orchestra. This piece is rated by many as Mozart’s best composition. Finally, in the second half the Jersey Chamber Orchestra will play Beethoven’s Eighth Symphony. The soloists regularly perform this piece together in the world’s greatest concert halls and did so recently with the Philharmonia. The concert at the Jersey Opera House on Saturday 30 January 2010 will raise money for the Autism Jersey charity. It is being sponsored by HSBC Private Bank. more
