Step into an evening of rich orchestral colour and timeless beauty.
From the sweeping elegance of Elgar’s Introduction and Allegro to the aching tenderness of Mahler’s Adagietto, this concert weaves together some of the most evocative music ever written. Strauss brings a touch of storytelling charm with his playful Duet Concertino, while Holst’s vibrant St Paul’s Suite sparkles with energy and wit.
Vaughan Williams’ Five Variants of Dives and Lazarus unfolds with warmth, serenity, and timeless lyricism and the concert closes in shimmering impressionistic style with Debussy’s Danse sacrée et danse profane.
