Programme Note

This concert is a celebration of musical localism, as we take to London a programme that celebrates the ESO’s musical heritage and our history in Elgar Country. We will perform a selection of string orchestra classics – Dvořák’s beautiful Nocturne, Elgar’s famous Introduction and Allegro and Sibelius’s rarely heard three-movement suite Rakastava, from 1912. In between, we are joined by trumpet soloist Simon Desbruslais in Philip Sawyers’ striking concerto and three short lyrical Soliloquies by Peter Fribbins.
