Ethel Smyth - Overture to "The Wreckers"
Edward Elgar - The Music Makers, Op.69 (Lucia Bradford, contralto)
Edward Elgar - Enigma Variations, Op.36
The season's finale, in collaboration with Hampshire choral Society, opens with the crashing waves and defiant spirit of Ethel Smyth's Overture to The Wreckers, a rarely heard overture from one of the era's most fiercely original voices. Contralto Lucia Bradford joins the orchestra and chorus for Elgar's The Music Makers, a soaring tribute to the visionaries and dreamers who shape the world, before the program closes with the composer's best-loved orchestral work, the Enigma Variations — a gallery of musical portraits of Elgar's friends, each hiding, in the composer's words, a mystery still unsolved.
