Mozart, Violin Concerto No. 5 in A major: Bursting with intricate detailing, the melodies tumble from heartfelt poignancy to expressive energy in this charmingly beautiful score. American soloist Elena Urioste makes her debut at the Kirklees Concert Season to perform this magnificent piece.

Elgar, Symphony No.1: Bursting with sensational flourishes, bold statements and dramatic punches, the symphony swells as the atmospheric phrasing intensifies and is incredible when performed live.
