ELGAR’S CELLO CONCERTO WITH THE ROYAL PHILHARMONIC ORCHESTRA
Mendelssohn, Overture: Midsummer Night’s Dream
Elgar, Cello Concerto
Dvorak, Symphony No. 8
Conductor Rory MacDonald
The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra makes a much anticipated return to the De La Warr Pavilion for a concert of beautiful classics. Opening with Mendelssohn’s magical Overture to A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Guy Johnston will then perform Elgar’s famous and deeply heartfelt 1919 Cello Concerto. Completing the programme, Rory MacDonald conducts Dvořák’s Symphony No.8. Infused with Dvořák’s Czech heritage, this Romantic symphony combines soaring string themes, roaring brass, atmospheric percussion and dancing woodwind.
