Immerse yourself in an evening of musical brilliance with the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra's presentation of "Firebird" at the Lighthouse, Poole. This captivating concert, taking place on Wednesday, 9th October at 7:30 pm, showcases an impressive lineup of works by Beethoven, Shostakovich, and Stravinsky, each bringing their unique voice to the stage.

The highlight of the night, Stravinsky's "The Firebird 1919," promises a journey through atmospheric, imaginative, and melodious landscapes, culminating in the whirling, nightmarish Infernal Dance. Alongside, Shostakovich’s Piano Concerto No. 1 offers a witty and carefree exploration of musical parodies, while Beethoven’s Symphony No.6 'Pastoral' paints a serene picture of nature, from tranquil scenes of rustic life to the dramatic intrusion of a thunderstorm.

Under the baton of conductor Elena Schwarz, with Martin James Bartlett on piano and Paul Bosworth on trumpet, this concert is not just a performance but an experience. Supported by The Michael and Ilse Katz Foundation, the event is set in the iconic Lighthouse at 21 Kingland Road, Poole, BH15 1UG, with ticket prices ranging from £17 to £52 for a running time of 2 hours.

Lighthouse, Poole's Centre for the Arts

The impulse behind the Pastoral symphony was Beethoven's own love of the Austrian countryside. The five movements include a solitary walk by a brook, a peasants' dance, a spectacular summer thunderstorm, and a final, tranquil hymn of thanksgiving.
