Dissatisfied with his original overture for the opera Fidelio, Beethoven ended up composing four versions. Leonore No.3 “ALL THE THREES” is one of them, and considered by many as the best and most dramatic. Of Saturday 9th February 2019, 7.30pm Saint-Saëns' three concertos for violin, the last one is the most popular, and for good reason. Dedicated to the composer-virtuoso Pablo de Sarasate, (pre-concert talk at 6.45pm) it combines technical fireworks with drama, melodic invention, and a Venue: The Great Hall beautifully serene second movement. Brahms wrote four symphonies but the £15 (Senior Citizen £13.50, renowned music critic Eduard Hanslick said that “the Third strikes me as being Student 17 and over £5, 16 and under FREE) artistically the most perfect.” Full of the romantic drama you would expect from Brahms in the outer movements, the second movement shows Brahms’ Beethoven - Leonore Overture No.3 more pastoral style and the third movement, instead of the rapid scherzo Saint-Saëns - Violin Concerto No.3 norm of the 19th-century, is an intensely lyrical Allegretto full of nostalgic Brahms - Symphony No.3 yearning. For this concert, LMO welcome back the dream team of conductor Sergej Bolkhovets and violinist Sophie Rosa after their electrifying concert Sergej Bolkhovets - conductor with LMO last season.

  • Varsity Jazz
    Varsity Jazz Jazz at Reading University 1951 - 1984 By Trevor Bannister 1 VARSITY JAZZ Jazz at Reading University 1951 represented an important year for Reading University and for Reading’s local jazz scene. The appearance of Humphrey Lyttelton’s Band at the University Rag Ball, held at the Town Hall on 28th February, marked the first time a true product of the Revivalist jazz movement had played in the town. That it should be the Lyttelton band, Britain’s pre-eminent group of the time, led by the ex-Etonian and Grenadier Guardsman, Humphrey Lyttelton, made the event doubly important. Barely three days later, on 3rd March, the University Rag Committee presented a second event at the Town Hall. The Jazz Jamboree featured the Magnolia Jazz Band led by another trumpeter fast making a name for himself, the colourful Mick Mulligan. It would be the first of his many visits to Reading. Denny Dyson provided the vocals and the Yew Tree Jazz Band were on hand for interval support. There is no further mention of jazz activity at the university in the pages of the Reading Standard until 1956, when the clarinettist Sid Phillips led his acclaimed touring and broadcasting band on stage at the Town Hall for the Rag Ball on 25th February, supported by Len Lacy and His Sweet Band. Considering the intense animosity between the respective followers of traditional and modern jazz, which sometimes reached venomous extremes, the Rag Committee took a brave decision in 1958 to book exponents of the opposing schools. The Rag Ball at the Olympia Ballroom on 20th February, saw Ken Colyer’s Jazz Band, which followed the zealous path of its leader in keeping rigidly to the disciplines of New Orleans jazz, sharing the stage with the much cooler and sophisticated sounds of a quartet led by Tommy Whittle, a tenor saxophonist noted for his work with the Ted Heath Orchestra.

  • John Etheridge Is Not Just Another Great Guitarist, He Is a Master of the Instrument and He Knows How to Use It to Best Effect in an Enormous Range of Settings
    JOHN ETHERIDGE TO PLAY SOLO GIG AT THE TOLMEN CENTRE SUNDAY NOVEMBER 17TH 7.30pm Tickets £10/£9 concessions Tel 01326 341353 or email [email protected] Cafe meals available but pre-booking essential John Etheridge hardly needs introducing to anyone with a nodding acquaintance with contemporary jazz guitar, but his range and experience extends far beyond jazz. He grew to prominence back in the 70s with rock-jazz fusion group Soft Machine (with whom he still tours); he spent six years on the road with gypsy jazz virtuoso Stephane Grapelli; he plays regularly with jazz violinist Chris Garrick as a duo and in the quartet Sweet Chorus; and he has worked and toured extensively with the foremost classical guitarist of our era, John Williams; he tours too with the Frank Zappa tribute band the Zappatistas. Other collaborators have included Richard Thompson, Nigel Kennedy and many more. John will be playing in our downstairs space, where a relaxed arrangement of tables and chairs and a bar open throughout will create just the atmosphere to enjoy this most engaging and generous of musicians. Those who have never seen John perform will be amazed by his virtuosity and passion, while those who have seen him only in combination with other musicians can look forward to something quite different and very special. Bill Starling, friend and writer, has this to say: “John Etheridge is not just another great guitarist, he is a master of the instrument and he knows how to use it to best effect in an enormous range of settings. He is fast, a great chord man, inventive but subtle, as good with a pick as finger style, as at home on acoustic as on electric guitar.
