Guest Soloist- Elgar's Sea Pictures- Dickinson College Orchestra

  • Evangelical First Lutheran Church 21 South Bedford Street Carlisle, PA, 17013 United States (map)

Ann will be returning to her alma mater as the guest soloist in Dickinson College’s orchestral concert on December 6, 2024. She is delighted to be performing Edward Elgar’s Sea Pictures.

Composed in 1899, Sea Pictures is Edward Elgar’s only song cycle, a captivating exploration of the ocean's mysteries through lush orchestration and expressive vocal lines. Across five songs, Elgar brings to life the evocative poetry of five different writers, each reflecting on the sea’s dual nature as both a source of beauty and danger. From the introspective calm of “Sabbath Morning at Sea” to the rolling drama of “The Swimmer,” Sea Pictures takes listeners on a journey through both the vast, timeless power of the sea and the depths of human emotion.

Elgar’s orchestration captures each song’s unique tone and offers a rich, cinematic experience, making Sea Pictures a beloved masterpiece in the song cycle repertoire.

This event is free and open to the public.
