Edward Elgar – Symphony No. 1

Conductor: Joe Davies

About this Concert

Following the success of our last Come and Play event, we’re once more welcoming amateur musicians from all over the country for a day of rehearsals and an informal performance. This year it’s the turn of Elgar’s 1st Symphony, full of incredible melodies and breathtaking drama. Come and Play welcomes musicians of all ages to experience the joys and challenges of Elgar’s symphonic writing in an enjoyable and relaxed environment. English Symphony Orchestra musicians will be on hand to give coaching and encouragement throughout the day. Directed by the ESO’s associate conductor Joe Davies, the day culminates in an informal play through for family and friends at 4pm.
