The Concert
Kick-start your evening with a 60-minute Half Six Fix concert. Introduced by the performers, with screens in the hall to bring you closer to the action.
The Music
Friendship and love underpin Elgar’s orchestral work, written in 1899. Each variation on the main theme is a tender, often gently mocking, portrait of a friend or family member. The ‘Enigma’ or mystery surrounding the origin of the theme is still unsolved.
The Performers
Elgar conducted the LSO in the premiere of his Cello Concerto in 1919, so this orchestra has a special relationship with the composer and his music.
Public booking opens Wednesday 16 April 10am
