About this event

Symfoni Kernow returns to St Petroc’s Church, Bodmin, under the direction of conductor Patrick Bailey, for an evening of unforgettable orchestral music, bringing together Hollywood glamour, American jazz, an exciting new Cornish voice and one of the most exhilarating scores ever written for the concert hall.

The programme opens with Erich Wolfgang Korngold’s swashbuckling music from The Sea Hawk, followed by George Gershwin’s iconic Rhapsody in Blue, featuring internationally acclaimed pianist Karl Lutchmeyer. We are delighted to present the premiere of Mass for String Orchestra by young Cornish composer Ethan Anholm, celebrating the remarkable talent emerging from Cornwall’s vibrant musical community.

After the interval, the orchestra returns for Leonard Bernstein’s electrifying Symphonic Dances from West Side Story. A thrilling finale packed with irresistible rhythms, soaring melodies and all the drama of the legendary musical.
For this performance, Symfoni Kernow brings together its largest ever orchestra, creating a truly spectacular sound world worthy of Bernstein’s vibrant and unforgettable score.

This year’s concert is in aid of Cornwall Air Ambulance, supporting the lifesaving work they carry out across the county every day.

Join us for an inspiring evening of music while helping to raise funds for an exceptional local charity.
