Edward Gardner* conductor Jan Volger cello

There’s only one Edward Elgar – or is there? For the London Philharmonic Orchestra’s Principal Conductor Edward Gardner, Elgar is more than just a national institution with a walrus moustache.

He’s the haunted, autumnal poet of the Cello Concerto (composed among the Sussex Downs); he’s a wit, a statesman, a romantic and – above all – he’s the composer who poured out his soul in ‘Nimrod’, the unforgettable centrepiece of the Enigma Variations.

You’ll hear all this and much more when we play both of these much-loved classics, with the great Jan Vogler – a legend among cellists – making a rare Eastbourne appearance.
