The evening, led by Music Director Carlos Miguel Prieto, features Canadian Tenor David Pomeroy and Principal Horn Mollie Pate in Britten's Serenade for Tenor, Horn, and Strings. Elgar's "majestic, noble, and perfectly British" (NPR) first symphony was all the rage upon its premiere but is rarely heard today.
