Event Short Description

Rising-star pianist Eden Agranat Meged makes his debut with the WPO, in music by Mozart and Franck.

Event Information

The WPO welcomes rising-star pianist Eden Agranat Meged, winner of the Coulsdon and Purley Festival Concerto Prize, to play César Franck’s ‘Variations Symphoniques’, now rarely heard in the UK and last performed by the WPO in 1966. Eden also plays Mozart’s Piano Concerto No. 27 in B-flat, the last written by the composer for this instrument.

The programme concludes with Parry’s Symphony No. 3 (‘The English’). Among the most frequently performed symphonies by a British composer in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the work subsequently fell out of favour. In recent years, there has been a resurgence of interest in Parry’s symphonies, and the WPO is delighted to bring this spirited and sunny work to Worthing. Its final movement takes the form of a set of variations on an invented English folk theme.

Sir Hubert Parry, a favourite composer of His Majesty The King, was in fact a locally-based composer, having lived latterly in Rustington, until his death there in 1918.
