FREE BROADCAST: Elder Conservatorium Lunchtime Concert – Vital Blossoms

When a Russian princess fell for her Paris Conservatoire professor, the fortuitous result was the Boulanger sisters. Child-prodigy Lili tragically died at 24 and was already seriously ill when she composed On a Spring Morning, which is highly impressionist in character. Mendelssohn’s blazing emblem of Romantic virtuosity, bursting with joie de vivre, is a huge audience favourite and guaranteed to thrill. Artists: Elder Conservatorium Symphony Orchestra Luke Dollman - conductor Tahlia Williams - violin Program: Lili Boulanger - D’un matin de printemps Felix Mendelssohn - Violin Concerto in E minor, Op. 64
