May concert of the Scarborough Orchestra, conducted by Shaun Matthew with pianist Francesco Attesti.
Scarborough Orchestra are back at Queen St Methodist Hall on Saturday 8 May 2027, their May concert of the season. It's a full orchestral night in the heart of town, with the orchestra taking the main stage for an evening of classical music.
Leading the ensemble is conductor Shaun Matthew, who'll be on the podium for the whole programme. He's joined by pianist Francesco Attesti, who takes the solo part. There's also trombone player Adam Quilter in the line-up, so you'll have the piano and the brass both stepping out from the orchestral texture at different points. It's a good mix of roles to keep in mind: the full orchestra providing the weight, with the piano and trombone taking the lead on their respective parts.
As for the programme, it's still being finalised, so there isn't a confirmed list of pieces to look at just yet. That's common enough this far out, and the orchestra usually works through a few different works across the night rather than sticking to one single piece. If you're the kind of person who likes to know every single note before you book, you might want to hold off until the full set is announced, but the core of it — the orchestra, the conductor, and the soloists — is set.
