ELGAR ANNIVERSARY LINKS
Edward Elgar, England’s best-loved composer, was born
on 2nd June 1857. His 150th Anniversary was celebrated throughout
2007 by the inclusion of Elgar’s works in numerous concerts
in Britain and abroad, and most particularly over the weekend
Friday 1st - Sunday 3rd June.
In Elgar’s home county, Worcestershire, a weekend programme
of talks, recitals and concerts was co-ordinated by the
Elgar Birthplace Museum,
dovetailing with CBSO concert performances
of his three great oratorios at Symphony Hall in Birmingham.
