About this Concert

Join us for an enchanting evening celebrating music for wooing. From the ancient days of the romantic guitarist serenading the object of their affections from below the garden window, music has long been one of our favourite nocturnal pastimes. Join the musicians of the English Symphony Orchestra for an evening of more than just a little night music, with romances and serenades by Elgar, Mozart and Coleridge-Taylor.
