Programme

Concert information

Elgar鈥檚 magnificent Second Symphony begins in a great, glowing surge of confidence and pride, until the shadows darken, and we hear a great artist laying bare his soul with an intensity and truth unprecedented in British music. It鈥檚 unforgettable: an emotional autobiography on a par with Mahler, and a fitting counterpart to the terrible beauty of Butterworth鈥檚 'A Shropshire Lad', performed to mark the 100th anniversary of its composer鈥檚 death on the Somme. Sir James MacMillan鈥檚 new Viola Concerto, meanwhile, weds the dusky sound of the viola to orchestral writing of fiery brilliance and dark
passion. Richard Farnes conducts its dedicatee, Lawrence Power.

Tickets are available from 18 July 2016.
