A concert to mark the 100th anniversary of the birth of the great Cornish composer George Lloyd. We shall be playing one of his finest and most powerful symphonies, written not long after he was severely shellshocked in WWII. Alongside this is music from two other great English composers. Elgar's powerful and lyrical concert overture 'In the South' was inspired by the town Alassio on the Italian Riviera. And what can be said about 'The Lark Ascending'? Except that it is the perfect piece for a Spring evening!
