The Odeion String Quartet, accompanied by the FSSO, will be playing Elgar’s "Introduction and Allegro for String Quartet and Strings" during the FSSO's 4th Symphony Concert taking place on 22 September 2018 in the Odeion.
The great English composer, Sir Edward (Willlam) Elgar, received his earliest music education from his father, who owned a music shop and was organist for the St. George's Roman Catholic Church in Worcester, UK. He also took violin lessons from a local musician. He rapidly acquired the fundamentals of theory and served as arranger with the Worcester Glee Club, becoming its conductor at the age of 22. The emergence of Edward Elgar as a major composer in about 1900 was all the more remarkable since he had no formal academic training. Yet, he developed a masterly technique of instrumental and vocal writing.
Make sure to include the FSSO's 4th Symphony Concert of the year into your Heritage Weekend plans. In addition to an array of local soloists, the FSSO is excited to also welcome international guest pianist, Vitaly Pisarenko, to the stage. Don't miss out on what is set to be a culturally enriching experience! Tickets available from Computicket outlets.
