Gorton Philharmonic Orchestra Subscription Concert series, Spring concert

Verdi - Overture The Force of Destiny

Elgar - Cello Concerto in E minor

Tchaikovsky - Symphony No. 6 in B minor ‘Pathetique’

Our Spring Concert focuses on works connected by destiny, fate and personal struggles. After the overture to Verdi’s opera 'The Force of Destiny' has got proceedings off to a dramatic start, we will be joined by a multi-award-winning cellist Josh Mountford to perform Elgar’s beautiful and enduring Cello Concerto. This concert of beautiful and emotional music will conclude with Tchaikovsky’s passionate sixth and last symphony, full of contrasting moods, in which, at the conclusion, he finally faces his fate head-on, not in expected triumph, but with intimacy, personal pain and wonderful poignancy.
