Concert Information

Elgar opens the concert with music for a children’s fantasy play, full of longing and nostalgia. He also closes it with a requiem, in all but name, to the dead of the First World War, for which the Â鶹ԼÅÄ SO is joined by the Â鶹ԼÅÄ Symphony Chorus.

Raymond Yiu, whose Symphony made such an impression at the 2015 Proms, gives us a chance to hear a new work that sets words by Anthony Burgess. And there’s a rarity by a composer who is all but forgotten; Lilian Elkington’s 1921 orchestral piece portrays the return of the body of the Unknown Warrior on the HMS Verdun and the ship’s emergence from the mists – a work of atmospheric power and beauty.
