Amersham Festival Orchestra returns to end the Spring Festival in style.

Elgar’s Cello Concerto is one of the best-loved pieces of all time, and with good reason!  For this performance our professional orchestra is joined by the sensational cellist Maxim Calver to explore the emotional highs and lows of one of the great concertos, a work whose searching opening immediately draws us into a deeply personal world.

In the second half, the orchestra plays another masterpiece in Dvořák’s ‘New World’ Symphony.  Its irresistible energy and soaring melodies balance a spirit of discovery with a poignant longing for home.  From the unforgettable cor anglais melody of the Largo to the powerful force of the final movement, this is an epic journey through reflection, conflict and renewal.  Together, these works promise a memorable finale to our Spring 2027 Festival.

This performance lasts approximately 2 hours, including an interval.
