Orchestral Concert: Elgar and Rachmaninov

Add to my Calendar 16-02-2019 19:30 16-02-2019 21:30 36 Orchestral Concert: Elgar and Rachmaninov Tonbridge Philharmonic Society's first orchestral concert of 2019 features a great 20th century English favourite, Elgar's Cello Concerto. Written one hundred years ago in the aftermath of the First World War, it is an impassioned work, evocative of the spirit of the time. The Cello Concerto will be preceded by Elgar’s ‘Pomp and Circumstance’ March No. 4, written ten years earlier in response to the experience of British soldiers in the Boer War. It is an upbeat, ceremonial work, contrasting with the elegiac mood of the Cello Concerto. The second half of the programme is dedicated to Rachmaninov's magnificent Symphony No.2. Premiered in 1908, it is a work firmly rooted in the late Romantic tradition. St Peter and St Paul's Church, Tonbridge DD/MM/YYYY
