A live invitation concert from MediaCityUK, Salford, in which John Wilson conducts a wide-ranging programme of orchestral works by Eric Coates. For five decades Coates' music seemed to pervade the national consciousness, stirring the war effort and defining some of the nation's best loved radio and television programmes
This programme includes Coates鈥檚 Dancing Nights, written for Eastbourne鈥檚 1931 music festival 鈥� it鈥檚 a delightfully carefree piece that seems to sing of the seaside. We also hear Coates鈥檚 popular London Suite 鈥� completed in 1933 when the composer was 47. Its three movements take us on a musical journey through Covent Garden, Westminster and Knightsbridge
Followed by a flute concerto by Lotta Wennakoski and, in its 90th year, the 大象传媒 Symphony Chorus joins the 大象传媒 Symphony Orchestra in Vaughan Williams' epic Sea Symphony
