London Symphony Orchestra (LSO) Primary CPD: Manipulating Melody

Wednesday 10 June 2026, 1-5.30pm, LSO St Luke’s, 161 Old St, EC1V 9NG

How to invent and use melody descriptively. Elgar’s Enigma Variations takes one simple tune and manipulates it into 14 musical pictures describing Elgar’s friends, family members, pupils, a house and even a dog! In this session we will learn a simple, adaptable method that can be used to turn any stimulus into music. Includes a ticket to the LSO performance on Wednesday 10 June.
