In association with the highly acclaimed violinist Michael Bochmann, Espressivo Concerts welcomes this very fine string orchestra from Fürth in northern Bavaria. Fittingly, they will be playing a largely German programme, including Bach’s wonderfully vibrant 3rd Brandenburg Concerto; Max Reger’s Lyrisches Andante, a deeply romantic work from the end of the 19th century; and one of Mendelssohn’s brilliant, youthful string symphonies. In addition, they will perform Bachorales, an ingenious homage to Bach composed by the acclaimed Worcestershire composer and arranger Derek Smith. The concert opens with an Italian work, a most engaging Concerto Grosso by Corelli from his celebrated Op 6 set.

Full programme:

Corelli	Concerto Grosso in D Op 6 No 4
Derek Smith	Bachorales for Strings
J S Bach	Brandenburg Concerto No 3 in G
Reger	Lyrisches Andante
Mendelssohn	String Symphony No 9 in C ‘Swiss’
