THE Welsh Chamber Orchestra will be performing at Rhyl Town Hall next week.

Led by conductor Anthony Hose and baritone Jeremy Huw Williams, the orchestra will give a concert, organised by Rhyl Music Club, at 7.30pm on Wednesday, November 22.

Tickets cost £15, and are available on the door or from Rhyl Music Club’s website.

The Welsh Chamber Orchestra, under the baton of Anthony Hose, has been coming to the club for nearly 20 years.

During that time, they have presented a repertoire of music including a number of new compositions, sung by Jeremy Huw Williams.

Stephen Leeder, Rhyl Music Club’s concert organiser, said: “Anthony has a long history as a major conductor and now organises music in Florida while Jeremy has an international opera career.

“Our music depends on the size of orchestra so we often have works that were written for a small group of about 20 players.

“We have just had the 400th Anniversary of the publishing of the First Folio by Shakespeare and we have 5 songs based on his poetry.

“I would love to tell you that these are as witty as Upstart Crow by Ben Elton but I would be lying if I did - however if you like Shakespeare you will enjoy this.

“Most concert goers will know one of the most famous short pieces of all, ‘The arrival of the Queen of Sheba’ by Handel, and this is followed by a Mozart Symphony that is popular and has a catchy opening theme.

“Even if you are not a regular concert-goer I suspect you will recognise this theme.

“Unfortunately, we have too few Mozart-style wigs for all the orchestra, so we'll have to make do with our normal hairpieces.

“Orchestras come rarely to Rhyl and we have only been able to get the WCO here because of sponsorship and for that we are most grateful.

“They are putting on a concert of easy-listening music and if you come along you may find ‘classical music’ to be enjoyable and entertaining.”
