Friday 28th June 7.30pm

Elgar: Introduction & Allegro

Webern: Langsamer Satz

Mozart: Divertimento in D, K136

Tchaikovsky: Serenade for Strings in C major Op48

There is only one word to describe the music in this programme - gorgeous. Elgar's Introducton and Allegro is redolent of the wistful Edwardian world just before World War One. Webern's early romantic movement and Mozart's sparkling Divertimento lead us to Tchaikovsky's fabulously rich Serenade, full of lush melodies and wonderfully exciting music. We can't wait for this concert.
