Looking forward to Bath Symphony Orchestra’s November concert. Three distinctive British composers in one powerful afternoon. Charlie Lovell-Jones performs Britten’s compelling violin concerto, written on the brink of war, before Elgar’s Symphony No. 2 — one of the greatest symphonies ever written, full of joy, sadness and emotional complexity. Ethel Smyth, wrote her opera The Wreckers after a visit to the Isles of Scilly. It is a tale of love, violence and betrayal and the overture depicts the sea in all its moods as a metaphor for the powerful emotions portrayed.
