Enigma Variations & Britten

About this event

Principal Guest Conductor Tabita Berglund leads a tour of England's many musical moods. Anna Clyne's Within Her Arms is a tender tribute to her late mother. Leif Ove Andsnes brings sparkle and bite to Britten's Piano Concerto, a work he has long championed. And Elgar's Enigma Variations, with the beloved "Nimrod" at its heart, paints affectionate portraits of the composer's friends.
