On Sunday 15th December, a 14-piece ensemble from the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra will be performing ‘Curious Creatures’ at The Exchange in Sturminster Newton.
The programme includes music ranging from Elgar to Vaughan Williams, from Mancini to Miranda, and from the Flight of the Bumblebee to the Baby Elephant Walk.
The Exchange is pleased to have combined with the BSO and Artsreach to create a package which will take BSO musicians to primary schools in Durweston, Shillingstone and Sturminster Newton in the week before this performance at The Exchange, a venue accessible to the whole of North Dorset. The selection of music is designed to be family-friendly, but the programme is as much for seasoned concert goers as well as those looking for their first live music experience.
This will be an opportunity to hear the musicians of the BSO in an environment more relaxed than a grand concert hall. Ticket prices have been kept low with the help of support from the Pitt-Rivers Charitable Trust. The performance will be at 3pm and lasts for one hour.
West End to Hollywood
In February, The Exchange will be welcoming a return of a BSO ensemble, this time entitled ‘West End to Hollywood’. A brand new concert of film and stage inspired music, you’ll hear familiar tunes from Chocolat, James Bond, Toy Story, Harry Potter and Moulin Rouge, performed by 14 musicians from across the orchestra.
The BSO is one of the UK’s best-loved orchestras, with a national and international reputation. Their ensemble performances give the opportunity to hear the highest quality musicians playing together in a local space.
A partnership with Artsreach is what has made it possible to bring these much sought-after performers to The Exchange and make them available to audiences in North Dorset.
