City Of London Sinfonia: String Serenades

 

Mindful works by Elgar and Tchaikovsky.

Violinist Ann Lovatt leads a short mindfulness session to encourage the audiences to connect with the breath of the music before performances of Elgar's Serenade For Strings In E Minor and Tchaikovsky's Serenade For Strings In C.

On Thursday 22 October at 2pm and 7pm, City of London Sinfonia strings will perform Elgar's Serenade for Strings in E minor (Op.20) and Tchaikovsky's Serenade for Strings in C (Op.48), directed by Alexandra Wood (CLS Creative Director & Leader). Each performance will open with a Mindful Music introduction, a CLS initiative first launched in 2018, which unites live classical music with mindful meditation. Violinist Ann Lovatt will lead a short mindfulness session encouraging audiences to connect with the breath of the music, to enlarge the calming and restorative qualities of the experience.
