English Symphony Orchestra 2025-26 Cheltenham Residency - Elgar, Vaughan Williams and Sawyer
Cheltenham GL50 1QA
Dates: 01/02/2026
Venue: Cheltenham Town Hall
3:00pm
Many consider Elgar’s Violin Concerto to be his most personal & confessional piece. Despite its titanic virtuosic demands, it is not a showpiece, but an expression of the inner world of a great man at one of life’s turning points. Philip Sawyers also found himself at a turning point when he gave up his career as a violinist to pursue composition full time. His courage has been validated many times over as he has been repeatedly hailed as one of Britain’s greatest modern symphonists. His Sixth Symphony is a touching homage to another great Sixth Symphony, Beethoven’s Pastoral.
