MSO

We've a particularly fine set of concerts for you this season, featuring some of our favourite young international soloists. Cellist Maxim Calver plays Shostakovich's brilliant 1st Cello Concerto, while master violinist Benjamin Baker, returning for a fifth time to MSO, brings Samuel Coleridge-Taylor's increasingly popular Violin Concerto along with Vaughan Williams' iconic The Lark Ascending. Mathilde Milwidsky, who impressed so much last season as a last-minute substitute, returns to play Sibelius's exciting Violin Concerto. And there are also MSO debuts for acclaimed Jordanian-Palestinian pianist Iyad Sughayer in Beethoven's mighty 3rd Piano Concerto, and a superb Israeli clarinettist Jonathan Leibovitz in both Mozart and Debussy... Under the direction of its acclaimed and popular conductor, Brian Wright, Maidstone Symphony Orchestra is regarded as one of the UK's finest "community" orchestras. It was formed in 1910 as Maidstone Orchestral Society, still the title of the concert..
