Tickets "at the door" - until sold out
  1. Froissart Op 19 - Sir Edward Elgar
  2. Symphonic Metamorphoses on Themes of Weber - Paul Hindemith
  3. Prelude to Act 4, Scene 2, from Diarmid - Hamish MacCunn
  4. Symphony No 5 in B flat Op 55 - Aleksandr Konstantinovich Glazunov

More chivalry features in Elgar’s concert overture that evokes the 14th century as seen through the chronicles of the eponymous writer. In 1902 Elgar wrote incidental music to Yeats’ play Diarmuid and Grania, but five years earlier Hamish MacCunn had written a grand opera on the Celtic subject; we play the passionate prelude to the last scene. Orchestral fireworks are provided by Hindemith’s reinterpretation of Weber, replete with percussive tintinnabulations, and Glazunov’s finest symphony, his 5th – sometimes known as ‘The Heroic’.
