Live from the Victoria Hall, Hanley
Presented by Tom McKinney
On the eve of the King's coronation, the 蜜芽传媒 Philharmonic travels to the Victoria Hall in Hanley for a special programme. We鈥檒l hear music by Elgar, Butterworth and Bax, played at Queen Elizabeth鈥檚 1953 coronation, as well as the tuneful suite Tippett composed to celebrate the then Prince Charles鈥檚 arrival five years earlier. Elgar鈥檚 Nursery Suite, one of his last pieces, was dedicated to the Princesses Margaret and Elizabeth (who just over 20 years later became Queen) and their mother, among the first to hear this instantly effervescent music. And, in this hall, named after Queen Victoria, we present music by a favourite composer of hers, Felix Mendelssohn, his sparkling E minor Violin Concerto.
