Stoneleigh Youth Orchestra return to Fairfield Halls to perform two of the best loved works in the orchestral repertoire.
Elgar was deeply affected by the First World War, and like many of his fellow artists, came to realise that the world that had inspired so much of his work was gone forever. His "Cello Concerto", composed in 1919 is a haunting elegy to this world, and a lost generation.
'Tchaikovsky’s 5th Symphony' is a portrayal of an impassioned struggle against fate, taking listeners on an emotional journey via moments of doubt and despair, fragility and sublime romance before reaching its triumphant conclusion. It remains one of the most performed symphonies of all time.
