Edward Elgar - the White Hat guide

We are in the process of preparing a comprehensive listening guide for classical music.

Please return again soon.

Some forthcoming Australian concerts and performances featuring the music of Elgar:

Australian Chamber Orchestra & The Hilliard Ensemble

Hilliard EnsembleThe Australian Chamber Orchestra (Helena Rathbone Lead Violin) with The Hilliard Ensemble. White Hat refards The Hilliard Ensemble to be one of the finest male vocal ensembles in the world. Their attention to tuning and chording in Medieval and Renaissance music gives it a 'ring' not heard in ensembles who stick to compromise of the equal temperament of the keyboard. This attention to ensemble tuning also pays dividends in contemporary music. This promises to be a special concert.

Since that time Amacord have gone on to be regarded as one of the finest male vocal ensembles in the world.

Melbourne Town Hall Proms - Enigma Variations

The Melbourne Symphony Orchestra with Christopher Seaman (conductor), Radovan Vlatkovic (horn) and Oystein Baadsvik tuba.

This concert celbrates the tenth anniversary of the Melbourne International Festival of Brass and two of the world’s great brass soloists join the MSO. Framing the classic concertos for the horn and tuba are the brilliant, folksong-inspired orchestral variations by Kodály and the stirring Enigma Variations by Elgar. The Enigma is a particularly appropriate choice because of the starring and virtuosic role Elgar assigns teh brass in his masterly orchestration.Presented in collaboration with the Melbourne International Festival of Brass.
