SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA
'Bohemian Rhapsody'
Guest Conductor : Roger Coull
Smetana Overture to 'The Bartered Bride'
Kodaly Dances of Galanta
Dvorak 7th Symphony in D
minor
This July, the Guernsey Symphony Orchestra has plucked Roger Coull
from his usual seat leading the orchestra and given him the conductor's
baton to celebrate his 50th birthday. The GSO takes the audience on an
Eastern European tour with Kodaly's 'Dances of Galanta', via the rustic
Czech themes of Smetana's Overture to 'The Bartered Bride', which
established the composer with the reputation he has today. The second half
of this journey will bring you to the 7th Symphony by Dvorak, who was
inspired by his great friend Smetana. Dvorak intended this symphony to be
'capable of shaking the world' whilst conveying the movement towards the
independence of his homeland at that time. The Credit Suisse Concert Series
attracts a large
audience - Don't be disappointed - buy your tickets now!

harmonies. Organic natural beats - human breathing, nature and animal sounds
- are incorporated with indigenous percussion and action sounds including
poi body slaps, foot stamping and hand clapping. Traditional Maori music is

culture and traditional heritage of the Maori people. WAI have been

goes'. He is a regular performer throughout Great Britain and gains
admiration and critical acclaim wherever he plays - two recent successes
being a one-hour live broadcast on Classic FM and a solo guitar recital at
the Euro-Wirral International Guitar Festival of Great Britain. Although
