Summary
Alisa Weilerstein joins conductor Joshua Weilerstein and the CBSO for Elgar’s Cello Concerto, alongside works by Weinberg and Shostakovich, at Birmingham's Symphony Hall.
Why it's fantastic
Experience the deep, autumnal ache of Elgar’s most famous melody, written in the aftermath of the First World War. It remains a definitive piece for anyone new to the cello, paired here with Shostakovich’s powerful Tenth Symphony to create a programme of immense emotional weight and historical resonance.
