Chiltern Camerata’s charming cello & more!

DATE

September 25, 2024

Chiltern Camerata will perform at St Mary’s Church in Old Amersham on Saturday, 9th November. Star local cellist Nicky Tait Baxter, who will perform, tells us more.

Music-lovers! An eagerly anticipated event is all set for St Mary’s in the form of the Chiltern Camerata’s autumn concert.

Local stars violinist Ruth Schulten and cellist Nicola Tait Baxter will perform one of the most intriguing of concertos ever written, Brahms’ Double Concerto, featuring two soloists & orchestra. It’s piece full of colours and warmth, with bold orchestral textures, offset against sumptuous and singing solo lines.

Nicky tells us: “I performed Shostakovich 1st concerto with the orchestra last year and I can’t wait to return for this performance. The Brahms happens to be one of my favourite pieces; it’s tremendously exciting and challenging to play and just brilliant to listen to!”

Other pieces in the programme are Beethoven’s Egmont Overture and Mendelssohn’s Scottish Symphony. Now in their 29th season, The Chiltern Camerata string orchestra include professionals and advanced amateurs. The orchestra perform music from a widely drawn repertoire, this season under the baton of various guest conductors. Their guiding aim is to entertain audiences with music, from the Baroque era to the present, in a friendly, un-stuffy environment.

This concert, the first in the new season, starts at 7.30pm. Tickets are £12pp (18s and under go free) and you can book yours at ticketsource.co.uk/chiltern-camerata or email info@chilterncamerata.org.uk
