presented by Brisbane Philharmonic Orchestra

Metro Series Concert #4

The BPO’s final concert of the year is a journey of some of the world’s finest British composers, both to their homes and abroad.

Intended as a depiction of Italy, Elgar wrote Alassio while on a family holiday.

“… in a flash, it all came to me – the conflict of the armies on that very spot long ago, where I now stood – the contrast of the ruin and the shepherd – and then, all of a sudden, I came back to reality. In that time I had composed the overture – the rest was merely writing it down.”

Next, Imants Larsens takes the stage as soloist for Walton’s passionate Viola Concerto, one of the instrument’s most celebrated concerti. Finally, Vaughan Williams, in his London Symphony, pays homage to the city that played a large role in both his life and career.
