Concert for St Cecilias Day Britten: Rejoice in the Lamb Elgar: Elegy (orchestral piece) Vaughan Williams: Serenade to Music Haydn: Paukenmesse A tribute to music as inspiration, praise and a beacon of hope in dark times.

Vaughan Williams Serenade to Music pays homage to the father of the Proms Sir Henry Wood, who made music accessible to so many, and Haydns Paukenmesse is a musical prayer invoking faith and hope during Napoleons occupation of his native Austria.
