Dynamic young cellist joins BSO

Final rehearsals are in full swing for Basingstoke Symphony Orchestra's Autumn Concert at The Anvil, Basingstoke, on Saturday with conductor Stephen Scotchmer and his daughter Lucy, who returns to the orchestra as the soloist in Dvorak's Cello Concerto in B minor, arguably the loveliest cello concerto ever written. Reading-born Lucy was a Foundation Scholar at the Royal College of Music, winning a number of prizes before graduating with honours in 2005. Other works in this concert are Brahms' beautifully crafted, graceful and inventive Haydn Variations and Britten's vividly evocative Four Sea Interludes from his opera Peter Grimes which paints pictures of the salty sea spray at dawn, moonlight glinting on the water at night and the ferocity of a storm. A concert of some of the most beautiful and dramatic music in the orchestral repertoire with a very talented and dynamic young soloist .
