The ECSO season finale features many works of royal occasion, and begins with Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky’s Coronation March. Performed at every British coronation since 1727, George Frideric Handel’s Coronation Anthem, Zadok the Priest follows. Guest artist Eva Virsik is featured in Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s Piano Concerto No. 19, which Mozart himself played at Leopold II’s coronation. Closing the concert in grand style is Edward Elgar’s Coronation Ode, which contains a lyrical version of the graduation staple Pomp and Circumstance. The ECS Chorus unites with soloists Sarah Yanovitch, Caroline O’Dwyer, Terrence B. Fay, and Brian Vu to perform this sweeping masterpiece.
The concert is sponsored by Olde Mistick Village and The Washington Trust Company.
