To celebrate a new, cordial phase of Anglo-French relations, a group of brilliant, young British and French musicians have been brought together to form a virtuosic symphony orchestra called the Orchestre de l’Entente Cordiale.
Music Director of the Orchestra is the distinguished conductor Jan Latham-Koenig and the soloist for the evening will be the leading young British cellist Laura van der Heijden who will perform that quintessentially English work, the Elgar Cello Concerto.
After the British first half, we have an all-French second half featuring popular music by Satie and Debussy, with a grand finale featuring a suite of opulent music from Poulenc’s ballet Les biches.
