Also in the programme are two works by Edward Elgar, the Pomp & Circumstance March No 1 and the King Arthur Suite, being performed for the first time in the UK in an orchestral version.

Alongside Adam Sangster, conductors will include Spires Music founder Colin Touchin, John James and Kelvin Ngai, representing La Salle School.
