The British are Coming: An English Music Celebration

Description

Full of brilliant music, the concert includes the Edward Elgar Enigma Variations – among the most popular of works in the classical repertoire – and Benjamin Britten’s Gloriana Dances in conjunction with the centennial celebration of Britten’s birth at Anderson University.  Ralph Vaughn Williams’ Oboe Concerto featuring our Principal Oboist, Aryn Sweeney, and two pieces from William Walton’s Henry V: Touch Her Soft Lips and Part and The Death of Falstaff   will round out this evening’s Celebration of English music.
A pre-concert music talk will be presented by Dr. Christopher Holmes of the AU School of Music at 6:30 in the Marquee Room.
