London Mozart Players kick off Spring with a performance at Fairfield Halls

12:00pm Wednesday 6th March 2013 in Vibe

Spring is in the air as the London Mozart players welcome the new season with a classical performance at the Fairfield Halls this month.

Croydon’s acclaimed resident orchestra will welcome Spring 2013 with a classical programme featuring British pianist Howard Shelley.

Shelley is considered to be one of the most acclaimed and celebrated piano stars in the country.

He is a regular collaborator with the London Mozart Players and this concert is a rare chance to catch him during his international touring schedule.

There will be three contrasting musical pieces performed. Weber, Mozart and Brahm will all be featured in the programme.

A spokesman says: "Weber’s Oberon Overture features delightfully memorable tunes, warm colours, and vibrant rhythms that evoke a magical world of fairies and adventurous knights.

"Shelley conducts and performs one of Mozart’s best-loved concerti that showcases delightful musical interplay between the piano and orchestra, and an uplifting concert finale evokes the abundant mood shifts and rich colours of Brahms’ Second Symphony.

"It is unmissable."
