The CBSO perform Elgar's reflective choral ode The Music Makers and Samuel Coleridge-Taylor's Violin Concerto, with mezzo-soprano Jane Irwin and violinist Anthony Marwood.

The City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra and Chorus celebrate the re-opening of the newly refurbished Town Hall in Elgar's 150th anniversary year with a performance of the work with mezzo-soprano Jane Irwin. This is preceded by another work premiered in 1912, Samuel Coleridge-Taylor's Violin Concerto.
