Eastern Odyssey

Take a musical journey to the East with the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra on Wednesday 28 October. Join them at the Lighthouse, Poole for this thrilling concert conducted by Charlotte Corderoy, with soloist Junyan Chen. The overture to Mozart’s Don Giovanni effortlessly introduces the shifting moods and dramatic contrasts and tensions that are to follow. Its genius lies in the success with which it captures the spirit of the opera without quoting from all its famous numbers. Saint-Saëns’ exquisite Second Piano Concerto shows a youthful high-spiritedness and somewhat inorganic, juxtaposed themes and movements. A famous witticism claimed, “It begins with Bach and ends with Offenbach”. The skill of Saint-Saëns the pianist shines throughout, with its virtuosic passages and arpeggios, ultimately sparking to the finale’s tempestuous pyrotechnics. Scheherazade consisted of “separate, unconnected episodes and pictures” as Rimsky-Korsakov himself put it, from The Arabian Nights. It is a triumph of imagination over experience; a feast of sumptuous colours and brilliant instrumental effect by the man who literally wrote the book on orchestration. The suite is bound together by a recurring motif, a bewitching melody sung by the solo violin: the voice of Scheherazade herself. It quickly became a favourite Romantic showpiece and a landmark in the history of descriptive music.

Tim Burton's Universe by Mystery Ensemble
Live Music

Tim Burton's Universe by Mystery Ensemble

From the shimmering wonder of Alice in Wonderland to the festive magic of The Nightmare Before Christmas, from the haunting lyricism of Edward Scissorhands to the eccentric brilliance of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory — this concert immerses you in the soundscapes that shaped Burton’s unique cinematic universe. At the heart of it all is the music of Danny Elfman, Burton’s lifelong collaborator and one of the most distinctive film composers of our time. Elfman’s music blends playfulness with menace, tenderness with grandeur — a perfect mirror of Burton’s visual imagination. Alongside Elfman, highlights include unforgettable moments from Corpse Bride, the cult favourite Beetlejuice, the gothic sweep of Batman, and the razor-sharp drama of Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street. In this premiere, Mystery Ensemble brings Burton’s worlds to life in unique arrangements. Expect soaring voices, bold instrumental colours, and an atmosphere that shifts in an instant — from the macabre to the magical, from the intimate to the epic. This is not just a soundtrack concert — it is a live theatrical experience. The concert's mysterious magic will arise from the connection between the musicians and the surrounding architecture. Feel as if you are stepping inside a Tim Burton movie itself!

Sunshine Symphonies

Sunshine Symphonies

Join the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra at Lighthouse, Poole for their second concert in their Beethoven Cycle. On Wednesday 4 November, experience the magic of Beethoven’s Symphony No.2 as well as the works of Prokofiev and Schumann alongside BSO Chief Conductor Mark Wigglesworth and soloist, Artist-in-Residence Boris Giltburg. Ignoring the Russian Revolution raging in the background, Prokofiev hit upon the idea of writing his first symphony as though Haydn were still writing music in 1917. The result is wonderfully light-hearted and whimsical. Nicknamed the ‘Classical’, it is not without a certain amount of impertinence for the classical form, meshing the tradition of clarity and formality with the renegade spirit of his early works. Schumann’s concerto, although outwardly resembling those of Mozart and Beethoven, broke new ground in several respects. Most strikingly it moved away from the contemporary use of the concerto as a showcase for the virtuoso pianist. Instead, piano and orchestra form an integrated whole, weaving subtle textures together with delightful lyricism. It was whilst working through his period of crisis with the onset of deafness that Beethoven completed the Second Symphony. The music is sunny and exuberant and bears no marks of his emotional turmoil. This symphony is a testament to Beethoven’s ability to transcend his own troubles in order to create beauty. This concert is part of an ongoing series on Wednesday evenings at Lighthouse, Poole.
