Landscape and Music

Elgar’s compositional voice and success were slow and often painful in process. From humble beginnings he has become a symbol of British music and British landscape. However, it’s not in the Pomp and Circumstance that we hear the real Elgar but rather, and in particular, in his First Symphony, A work full of melody, yearning and triumph, it is a true British masterpiece. There will be a pre-concert talk at 6.30pm, which will be free to all ticket holders.
