Elgar, Vaughan Williams, Ivor Gurney

Join Southampton Concert Orchestra in an evening of reflection, beauty, and timeless English music. Starting with the rarely performed A Gloucestershire Rhapsody by Ivor Gurney, whose music captures both the pastoral charm and the poignant yearning of a soul shaped by war and poetry. Edward Elgar’s Enigma Variations — a deeply personal masterpiece that transforms portraits of the composer’s friends into one of the most enduring orchestral works ever written. Finally, the concert soars to radiant heights with Ralph Vaughan Williams’ The Lark Ascending, a luminous meditation on nature and transcendence, where the solo violin rises skyward in song, embodying pure freedom and serenity.
