From the 2009 Cheltenham Festival, Scott Ellaway conducts violinist Nicola Benedetti and Orchestra Europa in works by Mendelssohn, Tchaikovsky and Schubert.
From the 2009 Cheltenham Festival, a programme of music featuring the talented young professionals of today and of the future. Orchestra Europa is a fledgling orchestra, set up by its young conductor Scott Ellaway to bring together the best conservatoire graduates before they find permanent positions in established orchestras across Europe.
They perform Schubert's final Symphony, and music by Mendelssohn, a composer who was always interested in his musical forbears, and who conducted the first performance of Schubert's Ninth Symphony ten years after his death.
They are joined by Nicola Benedetti, who is soloist in one of the favourites of the violin repertoire, Tchaikovsky's Violin Concerto.
