Conductor: Michael Lloyd (right)

Solo Violin: Kathryn Rutland

 

Elgar: Violin Concerto in B minor

Stravinsky: The Rite of Spring

 

Elgar's Concerto, written for Fritz Kreisler, challenges both orchestra and conductor in ways that can be wholly unexpected.

For some, The Rite of Spring is the ultimate challenge for an orchestra, for others, one of the defining moments of twentieth century music, after which nothing could ever be the same. Stravinsky's revolutionary ballet continues to be a source of controversy nearly 100 years on.

Tickets: £12.00, under 18 £5.00
