WPO: Autumn Classics
 

Sunday 6th October 2024, 3pm

Worthing Assembly Hall

​

The WPO presents two of the most popular works in the orchestral repertoire, Beethoven's stirring Leonore Overture No. 3 and DvoÅ™ák's tuneful Eighth Symphony.  Virtuoso bassoonist, Siping Guo, performs Rossini's rarely-heard concerto for that instrument; and the WPO's new Composer-in-Residence, Ansel Chaloner-Hughes, sees his first composition for the orchestra given its world première.
