Elgar (arr. David Matthews) String Quartet
Our 2019-20 season in Great Malvern Priory comes to a thrilling conclusion with David Matthews’ masterful string orchestra arrangement of Edward Elgar’s String Quartet. ESO Leader and Elgar Country’s favourite violinist, Zoë Beyers, performs Vaughan Williams’ haunting Lark Ascending alongside Emily Doolittle’s avian-inspired work, ‘falling still’, a depiction of a blackbird just before dawn. The concert opens with Adrian Williams’ ‘Migrations’, a major addition to the great tradition of English string orchestra masterpieces, destined to sit proudly alongside pieces like Elgar’s Introduction and Allegro and Vaughan Williams’ Tallis Fantasia.
