ELGAR Cello Concerto 

WALTON Belshazzar's Feast*

Called “the fast rising star of conducting” Klaus Mäkelä returns to conduct a program highlighting the works of British conductors: Elgar’s much loved Cello Concerto, and Walton’s hugely sonic, outlandishly exuberant oratorio (featuring the celebrated baritone Thomas Hampson).

*Not performed on Friday’s matinee concert.

This program’s Concert Preview lectures will be presented by James Wilding, Professor of Composition and Theory, University of Akron
