Atlanta Symphony Orchestra - Elgar Cello Concerto at 100
It has such passion in its melodies that it can speak to all generations. Playing it, it's as if you can feel what the composer was thinking. It's written on a really nice place on the cello where it can really sing and you can express yourself.

Why see Atlanta Symphony Orchestra - Elgar Cello Concerto at 100?
A night to remember
2019 marks the centenary of Elgar's autumnally gorgeous Cello Concerto and the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra will celebrate in style with a recital led by the talents of British up and comer and 2016 BBC Young Musician of the Year Sheku Kanneh-Mason. 'It's every cellist's dream to play this piece,' he has said, and we predict it will be just as wonderful an experience to hear his interpretation live.
Alongside Kanneh-Mason, the evening will be conducted by Carlos Kalmar who'll preside over the three work program that also includes a rare gem from Sir Arthur Sullivan (of Gilbert & fame) and Schumann's cheery Symphony No. 2.
