The Hounslow Symphony Orchestra is to presents a Lunchtime Chamber Concert at St Mary’s Church in Isleworth. The programme brings together a range of small ensembles drawn from the orchestra, offering an hour of varied chamber music in an informal setting.
The concert on Sunday 24 May at 1.30pm opens with a brass quintet, performing Ian MacDonald’s Sea Sketches for Brass Quintet followed by Seb Skelly’s arrangement of Soon May the Wellerman Come. A string ensemble then plays two well‑known serenades: Elgar’s Serenade for Strings and Dvořák’s Serenade for Winds.
A flute trio presents two contrasting works — Thomas Simaku’s From Across the Sea and Laszlo Zempleni’s Trio for Flutes — before a string quartet performs the first two movements of Beethoven’s String Quartet No.4 in C minor, Op.18 No.4.
The concert concludes with wind players joined by strings for Dvořák’s Serenade for Winds, bringing the programme to a warm and energetic finish.
