Sir Andrew Davis conductor
Michael Kennedy artistic adviser
"There is music in the air, music all around us, the world is full of it and you simply take as much as you require" Edward Elgar
Elgar 2007 is a major celebration to mark the 150th anniversary of the birth of the great British composer Sir Edward Elgar, 1857-1934. Under artistic adviser Michael Kennedy and conducted by Sir Andrew Davis, Elgar 2007 features 18 concerts in 13 venues across the UK from 11 April to 2 June.
The Philharmonia's exploration of Elgar's finest works includes the Violin and Cello concertos, Symphonies Nos. 1&2, Enigma Variations, Serenade for Strings, Sea Pictures and The Dream of Gerontius, for which Sir Andrew and the Philharmonia will be joined by a stellar team of soloists: Truls Mørk, James Ehnes, Jane Irwin, Catherine Wyn-Rogers, James Gilchrist and Peter Sidhom. Almost all of the repertoire will be recorded for future release through both Decca Concerts and the Philharmonia's forthcoming online shop.
The Series also includes recitals by the Soloists of the Philharmonia Orchestra, Elgar Study Days, a touring exhibition and a major web resource at www.philharmonia.co.uk/elgar that includes interviews with artists, film footage, programme notes and much more.
