BSO On Your Doorstep

The BSO Strings Ensemble are bringing 'Serenades and Starbursts' to St Petroc’s Church, Bodmin.

A Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra concert to pull at your heartstrings and satisfy any curious soul coming to St Petroc’s Church, Bodmin on Saturday 17 January. A 19 piece BSO Strings Ensemble present an energetic, eclectic programme rich in heritage and heart.

Sink into the sublime as they serenade you with Tchaikovsky’s string masterpiece. A poised and sedate piece that lies at the heart of this musical tapestry.

Take a musical tour beginning along the Mediterranean coastline with, inspired by the 16th century Italian architect that the pieces get it’s name, Jenkins’ beloved Palladio. Journey east with Bartok’s Romanian Folk Dances and Skyork’s beguiling Ukrainian Melody. And Holst pays homage to British folk song with his charming St. Paul’s Suite.

Across the continent and through time, we travel further still. Into a galaxy of rapidly changing musical colours, exploding gestures and fleeting melodies that create the wondrous soundscape of Jessie Montgomery’s Starburst.. A kind and inquisitive composition, Gershwin’s ethereal Lullaby continues our journey further and further away in a Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra concert designed for all ages.
