May the 21st sees the penultimate concert in the IWSO’s busy season, and it should be a great night’s music, with violinist Alexander Sitkovetsky playing Mendelssohn’s Violin Concerto in E minor. The evening begins with Respighi’s Symphonic Poem “The Fountains of Rome”, and concludes with Edward Elgar’s 1st Symphony.
