Alistair Coleman — Broadacre City for flute quintet (world premiere)
Edward Elgar — Piano Quintet in A minor, Op. 84
Elgar's bold tunes, striking color effects, and epic themes capture all the expanse and exhilaration of the English countryside. Then, our 2022 Protégé Composer Alistair Coleman takes us on a musical journey of his own with the world premiere of his equally soaring flute quintet.
