Maybe the only thing more British than the
BBC Concert Orchestra is the E-minor cello concerto by Edward Elgar. The versatile former plays the melancholy latter today, with rising cellist Sophie Shao soloing. Conductor Keith Lockhart also leads the ensemble through Benjamin Britten's "Four Sea Interludes From Peter Grimes" and Felix Mendelssohn's Symphony No. 3 (the Scottish). The 8 p.m. program is at Yardley Hall at Johnson County Community College (12345 College Boulevard, Overland Park, 913-469-4445). Order tickets ($42 or $52) at
