Ely Sinfonia

Beethoven’s gripping Egmont Overture sets the stage for Ely Sinfonia’s Spring concert, with dramatic force, defiance and noble spirit. Composed for Goethe’s tragedy Egmont, this work is a musical call to arms – a celebration of courage in the face of tyranny as it channels the fight for freedom.

Beethoven’s Triple Concerto is a rare and radiant gem in the composer’s catalogue, bringing together piano, violin and cello in a beaming trio of voices. Full of lyricism, lively interplay and elegant charm, it’s a joyful showcase of musical unity.

Completing the night is William Walton’s Symphony no. 1, a landmark in British classical music. From brooding tension to explosive climaxes, this symphony delivers drama throughout, surging through dramatic highs and culminating in a triumphant, blazing finale.

Tickets: £25, £20, £10 (Under 18s: £5 in £20 & £10 seats).
