About

Edward Elgar scored an instant hit with his 1899 Enigma Variations, and he's been captivating new generations with it ever since. Enigma found its way into the films Dunkirk (2017) and The Matrix (1999), as well as the solemn funerals of Princess Diana and Queen Elizabeth II.

This week, guest conductor David Danzmayr brings an eclectic mix of barn burners for the ace musicians of the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra. Pianist Claire Huangci performs Shostakovich's snappy Piano Concerto No. 2. The concert opens with Duke Ellington's swinging tribute to Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and closes with Elgar's showstopping Enigma Variations.
