That’s just the climax to a whole concert that highlights some of these composers’ most well-known works. \n\n\n\nVirtuoso cellist Sterling Elliot leads the Orchestra through the wistfulness of Elgar’s Cello Concerto with his ‘impeccable musicianship’. Evoking a sense of introspection\, the work’s sombre mood reflects on the closing months of World War I\, contrasting sorrowful melodies with moments of hope and resilience. \n\n\n\nConductor Kevin John Edusei launches the evening with Dvořák’s joyous Carnival Overture\, the second work in his Nature\, Life and Love trilogy; a celebration of the composer’s love for his native land and its majestic landscape. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nReviews\n\n\n\n\n“Sterling Elliott’s interpretation….was revelatory.
