Mozart, Grieg and Elgar – coming to Prestwich

Acclaimed musicians from Manchester Camerata are playing a concert at the Longfield Suite in Prestwich on Friday 26 April.

This is their first visit to Prestwich and, under the direction of Adi Brett, the concert is sure to hold many delights for fans of classical music.

At the heart of the concert are two pieces by Mozart, written as the composer was approaching adulthood. Both the Violin Concerto no.2 and the Symphony no.29 represent a coming of age musically, and although at times the impetuosity of youth still shines through, both are filled with wonderfully lyrical Mozartian melodies.

Grieg's charming Holberg Suite opens proceedings, a series of five movements based on 18^th Century dances, and one of Elgar's most popular works, the youthful Serenade for Strings, completes the programme.

The concert starts at 7.30pm. For tickets, ring0161 253 7227
