Programme Note
Join us for an emotional afternoon as we explore patriotism, love and passion through the music of Sibelius, Brahms and Tchaikovsky.
The European Doctors Orchestra returns to Cadogan Hall in November, celebrating its own 10th anniversary along with Cadogan Hall’s. With Elizabeth Wallfisch, its Patron, as soloist in the Brahms’ dramatic Violin Concerto, the programme opens with Sibelius’ Finlandia, a celebration of his homeland, and ends with Tchaikovsky’s last symphony, the Pathetique.
The European Doctors Orchestra is an orchestra of doctors from across Europe, performing and delighting audiences in London, Birmingham, Berlin, The Sage: Gateshead, Oslo, Edinburgh, Poznan, Verona, Budapest and Bucharest, whilst making money for local medical charities. Following its recent performance in Birmingham it was said of the orchestra that ‘although they’re all amateur musicians, the sounds they produce are anything but amateur!’
Profits from ticket sales from this concert will go to support the Royal Brompton and Harefield Hospitals Charity which is fundraising to purchase a surgical table for the new hybrid operating theatre at the Brompton Hospital.
