Join Brighton Festival Chorus & the Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra for an evening of Elgar’s most personal and deeply moving music.
Written in the aftermath of the First World War, Elgar’s Cello Concerto in E Minor is an intimate and elegiac work, widely regarded as one of the greatest pieces in the cello repertoire. Since its premiere in 1919, the concerto has become a touchstone for audiences worldwide, admired for its raw honesty and emotional depth.
Paired with this is Elgar’s large-scale choral masterpiece The Music Makers, a work that celebrates the power of art
and imagination. Setting lines from Arthur O’Shaughnessy’s famous ‘Ode’, Elgar weaves in echoes of his own earlier
compositions, creating a sweeping self-portrait that is both personal and universal. Majestic and lyrical, it is a hymn
to the role of artists and dreamers in shaping the world.
Together, these works form a concert of profound beauty and emotional resonance, showcasing Elgar at his most
introspective and most visionary.
