Programme Note
A new year, a new decade and in 2020 the 10-yearly Passion Play will be performed in Oberammergau. It is, therefore, most appropriate that we have chosen The Kingdom for our concert on the first day of spring, Saturday 21 March.
The Kingdom contains some of Elgars most stirring and inspirational music. It covers the descent of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost and the foundation and early activities of the Christian Church in Jerusalem. Elgar makes Peter the focus of the work, providing a forceful and impressive role.
We greatly look forward to performing Elgar's masterpiece and welcoming our audience to Holy Trinity, Sloane Square.
