The programme starts with Mendelssohn’s Hebrides Overture (Fingal’s Cave) for which he found inspiration during a holiday in Scotland in 1829. Then follows Mozart’s Concerto for Flute No 1 in G when the soloist will be Sirius Chau from the Royal College of Music who is the winner of the ESO’s annual young soloist competition which took place last January.

After the interval, the Eastbourne Symphony Orchestra ends the concert with Dvořák’s New World Symphony, arguably one of the most popular of all symphonies.
