FSO Centenary: Mendelssohn and Carslake

Saturday 22 January 2022
Princes Hall, Aldershot, GU11 1NX

Conductor: William Carslake

Mendelssohn: Hebrides Overture
Carslake: Timidus
Mendelssohn: Symphony No. 3 (‘Scottish’)

The FSO’s Centenary Season opens the New Year with an homage to Scotland.  Mendelssohn’s evocative Hebrides Overture opens the progamme, and his wonderful third symphony, the ‘Scottish’, closes it. The other work in the programme is the premiere of an orchestral piece by our Artistic Director, William Carslake, inspired by his camping trips in the Cairngorms.
