The Oxford Sinfonia’s September concert presents a glorious programme of classical masterpieces under the dynamic baton of Joe Davies.
Conducting the orchestra for the first time in this programme of Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven, Joe Davies will bring the University Church of St. Mary the Virgin to life with a programme including Mozart’s overture the ‘Abduction from Seraglio’, Beethoven’s ‘Ruins of Athens’, Mozart’s 3rd Violin Concerto and Haydn’s Symphony No 100 (the ‘Military’).
The up-and-coming conductor is one to watch and recently noted as an ‘inspiring’ conductor with a ‘substantial future ahead of him’ after directing a memorable performance of Bernstein’s Candide at the Oxford Playhouse.
Soloist Emma Lisney started playing the violin at the age of six, studies with Paul Barritt and has masterclasses with Vadim Repin, Pinchas Zukerman and Maxim Vengerov.
In March 2016 Emma won first prize at the Oxfordshire Concerto Competition, performing Prokofiev’s second violin concerto with the Oxford Philharmonic Orchestra.
