Vaughan Williams' Fifth Symphony

“When chivalry lifted up her lance on high…”. With a stirring flourish, the young Elgar summons up a whole vanished world of pageantry and adventure. It’s a very different England from the serenity of Vaughan Williams’ glorious Fifth Symphony and folk-inspired Running Set. Our Principal Guest Conductor, Andrew Manze, is an expert at making music sing and glow, so expect real magic when he joins violinist Sebastian Bohren in Szymanowski’s sensuous concerto.
