Sutton Symphony Orchestra Spring Concert: A Russian and Armenian Extravaganza

Sutton Symphony Orchestra is back at St Andrew’s URC, Northey Avenue Cheam on 30^th March for its spring concert featuring a Russian favourite and some Armenian classics.

First up is Spartacus Suite No. 2 by Khachaturian. Taken from the longer ballet composed in 1954 the suite is based somewhat loosely on the well-known tale of Spartacus, underdog leader of the slave uprising against the repressive Romans in c70BC.

Next up is Arutiunian’s trumpet concerto with local musician Mikey Ahearn as soloist. Mikey, currently studying music and in his final year at Oxford, is an alumnus of Wilson’s School and Sutton Music Service (SMS), and also won the SMS concerto competition in 2012.

Tchaikovsky’s 4^th  symphony completes the programme. Tchaikovsky also knew how to write a fabulously tune and there are plenty of these in this piece to toy with your emotions – all in a good way obviously.

Tickets online or on the door, £10 for adults, under 18’s free. 7.30pm start.

Sutton Symphony Orchestra (Conductor Philip Aslangul, Leader Annmarie McDade) rehearses on a Tuesday evening and provides an opportunity for local musicians to perform ambitious orchestral works. SSO performs 3 concerts per year.
