About this event

Elgar's colourful tour of Old London Town prefaces a concerto from Michael Berkeley, 'inspired,' he says, 'by my impressionable days as a chorister at Westminster Cathedral'.

Marc-Andr茅 Hamelin returns in Rachmaninov's dazzling Rhapsody, while the brilliant H谩ry J谩nos suite relates the unlikely exploits of a veteran hussar during the Napoleonic era.
