Elder Conservatorium Wind Orchestra
Lloyd Van’t Hoff conductor
Karel Husa Smetana Fanfare
Holst First Suite in E-flat, Op. 28 No. 1
Natalie Williams Pendulum
Alexander Arutiunian Trumpet Concerto
Husa quoted Smetana’s little known symphonic poem, Wallenstein’s Camp, in a fanfare commissioned to celebrate the centennial of the important Bohemian nationalist composer’s death, whilst Holst’s cornerstone of band literature passed its own centennial in 2009. Alumna Natalie Williams depicts the arc of a pendulum and the passing of time in her celebration of the Sydney Conservatorium’s 100th birthday, and this concert concludes with Arutiunian’s single-movement virtuosic Armenian-inspired concerto.
