The Fulltone Orchestra will perform Dvořák's Symphony No. 9 alongside film scores at Marlborough College Chapel on 8 November.
The Fulltone Orchestra will return to Marlborough College Chapel on Sunday, 8 November, at 3pm for a concert programme called The New World Symphony. The 50-piece ensemble, conducted by founder and musical director Anthony Brown, features musicians from across the South West and combines Antonín Dvořák's Symphony No. 9 with three iconic film scores.
The concert will begin with John Barry's suite from Dances with Wolves, followed by James Horner's Titanic Suite. Violin soloist Katy Smith will then perform Ralph Vaughan Williams' The Lark Ascending. The second half will be dedicated to Dvořák's Symphony No. 9, commonly known as The New World Symphony.
Anthony Brown said the orchestra aims to bring 'iconic music from a wide range of genres' to audiences. He expressed enthusiasm about returning to Marlborough College, saying the programme 'takes audiences across cultures, landscapes and generations', and praised how the Chapel's acoustic would allow the 50 players 'the space to really open up'.
The orchestra described Marlborough College Chapel as an ideal venue for the performance. The 'magnificent gothic setting' would offer 'the ideal backdrop for this very special programme, truly accentuating the rich sound of the symphony orchestra'.
The Fulltone Orchestra was founded by Brown in 2017 and has built a reputation for dynamic and genre-defying performances. The group is known for blending classical works with contemporary and theatrical elements.
