Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra ensemble in Sturminster Newton.
Don’t miss this rare chance to experience and enjoy some of the South West’s premier classical musicians performing in North Dorset.
The Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra visit to The Exchange on Thursday 20th November will now feature a larger group of 19 musicians, in an ensemble presentation for strings.
BSO’s Serenades and Starbursts is a fascinating programme of musical exploration for an audience of all ages. Tchaikovsky’s masterpiece Serenade for Strings lies at the heart of this musical tapestry.
A musical tour will start on the Mediterranean coastline with Jenkins’ Palladio, inspired by the 16th century Italian architect from whom the piece gets its name. Travelling east, Bartok’s Romanian Folk Dances will be followed by Skyork’s beguiling Ukrainian Melody, and then Holst pays homage to British folk song with his charming St. Paul’s Suite.
Travel further still, across the continent and through time, into a galaxy of rapidly changing musical colours, exploding gestures and fleeting melodies, in the wondrous soundscape of jessie Montgomery’s Starburst. Then Gershwin’s ethereal Lullaby continues the journey further and further away – a musical treat for all.
Don’t miss a gripping, razor sharp, dark comedy at The Exchange.
Inspired by the notorious diary of Frantz Schmit,
Making a Killing is set in 1590, in a world disturbingly like our own. The ropes are ready, the crowd is waiting, and the hangman has a new apprentice. In the shadow of the gallows, seasoned executioner Schmit wrestles with a family curse that haunts his every step.
When his brash new assistant arrives, the two men are thrown together in a world where duty, morality and power collide – and every decision leaves a mark. As the gallows fill and suspicion takes root, their fates become dangerously entwined, until both must decide who they are, and which side of the rope they stand on.
Making a Killing by Ha Hum Ah Theatre is at The Exchange on Tuesday 11th November.
Both these shows are presented by The Exchange in partnership with Artsreach. Tickets are only £14, with generous concessions for children and for families.
