Mendelssohn - String Symphony No. 6 in E flat major
Kristopher Man- String Suite (Premiere)
Hindemith - Trauermusik for viola and strings
Elgar - Serenade for Strings, Op. 20
Imagine the drama when George V died hours before Hindemith was due to premiere his viola concerto in London. Adrian Boult instead asked him to contribute to a commemoration concert, so Hindemith wrote Trauermusik in six hours before the BBC live broadcast that evening. Despite the inauspicious premiere of Elgar’s Serenade by the “Worcester Ladies Orchestral Class”, it’s a piece full of poignant lyricism and one of the composer’s own personal favourite works. A new work by teenage Conservatorium student Kristopher Man is premiered. And Mendelssohn’s string symphonies were all written before the age of fourteen.
