An English Journey

Explore landscapes, memories, and imagination, through some of Britain’s most evocative music. Edward Elgar’s Cello Concerto, first performed in London in 1919, is one of his most personal works: somber, introspective, and marked by the atmosphere of the closing months of the First World War. It will be performed by cellist Angela Park, who is Artist Lecturer in Cello at Carnegie Mellon University and whose career includes concerto appearances with the Philadelphia Orchestra and Seoul Philharmonic. Benjamin Britten’s Four Sea Interludes from Peter Grimes adds vivid portraits of an English seaside world—Dawn, Sunday Morning, Moonlight, and Storm. We will also premiere a new work in partnership with the Sing Me A Story Foundation. A child with medical need will “tell as story” to a composer, who will then, under the coordination of Music Director Moon Doh, turn that story into a full orchestral composition. The family of this child, as well as members of the Foundation, will record the performance and raise funds for the medical needs. More details to come!
