Conductor Mark Shanahan

The last concert of this season ends with the much-loved Sibelius Symphony No 1, which he completed in 1900. It combines his distinctive tight musical structures and perfectly-judged orchestral colours with heart-on-sleeve emotion. In the first half, we visit Paris in 1870, for some gorgeous highlights from Delibes' wonderful ballet Coppélia - which has a mix of romance, fairy-tale, and (of course!) automata who come to life. The concert starts with the brilliance of Bacewicz's Concert Overture from 1943. Written during the Nazi occupation of Poland, this work got its first performance after the war in 1945.

If you are interested in attending all four of our main concerts next season (October 2024 -June 2025) you might like to consider purchasing a Season Pass.

Forest Philharmonic

Under the direction of Artistic Director Mark Shanahan, Forest Philharmonic Orchestra has gained an impressive reputation for the high quality and vitality of its performances. The string sections are each led by a professional player, whose input in rehearsals enables the orchestra to fulfil its aim of coaching the musicians of tomorrow while providing a forum for the leading amateur players of today. Young musicians in the local Waltham Forest community are given the opportunity to experience a full-size symphony orchestra during open rehearsals, and creative projects are undertaken in local schools, introducing classical music to pupils. In 2014/15, Forest Philharmonic celebrated its 50th anniversary season!
