QPO Presents: Elgar's Enigma Variations

Join the Qatar Philharmonic Orchestra for a richly textured evening of music under the baton of Renchang Fu, featuring Richard Alonso Diaz as tuba soloist in a captivating programme that spans East and West, tradition and innovation. The evening opens with Xu Zhen-Min’s evocative Night Mooring at Maple Bridge, followed by two beloved Chinese melodies—From Afar and A Lovely Rose. Diaz then takes centre stage in  Vaughan Williams’ Concerto in F Minor for Tuba, a rarely performed gem that showcases the instrument’s unexpected agility and rich character. After the intermission, the orchestra presents Elgar’s masterful Variations on an Original Theme (better known as the Enigma Variations), a work of profound emotional range and one of the cornerstones of the English orchestral repertoire.
