This special Remembrance Day concert features music from great European and English composers. The concert opens with Elgar’s stately and solemn “Pomp and Circumstance March #4”. The principal wind players are featured in Mozart’s “Sinfonia Concertante.” The intricate “Enigma Variations” by Elgar, including “Nimrod’s” glorious melody and restrained emotion, will not only challenge the orchestra, but thrill the audience too. Our special guest, Teddy Payne, will grace us with a number of recitations
