A Concert of Remembrance
St James's Church Piccadilly, W1J 9LL , [Venue Details]Join us for an emotional night of music and memories that’ll stick with you long after the last note plays.
Virtuoso violinist Alda Dizdari, renowned for her original and deeply personal programming, presents a carefully curated selection of works for violin and piano written in the aftermath of two devastating World Wars.
At the heart of the evening lies the composers’ profound emotional responses to a changing world—struggles shaped by conflict, loss, displacement, and remembrance—interwoven with Dizdari’s own deeply personal connection to each work.
The evening opens, fittingly on 11 November, with Ralph Vaughan Williams’ The Lark Ascending. One of the most cherished works in the violin repertoire, its soaring lyricism and contemplative beauty evoke a profound sense of remembrance, making it a particularly poignant choice for Remembrance Day.
Edward Elgar’s magnificent Violin Sonata follows—a work imbued with the atmosphere of a world forever altered by war. Through its intimacy and nostalgia, Elgar captures the poignancy of a vanished era, revealing both the tenderness of memory and the emotional weight of a world left behind.
