Programme Note

Since its inception in 2018, the annual Elgar Festival has grown from a weekend to a 9-day celebration of the life and music of Worcester’s most famous son and Britain’s great composer, Sir Edward Elgar (1857-1934), and held at a number of integral venues of both historic interest and personal significance to the composer including Worcester Cathedral and Guildhall, St George’s RC Church and Great Malvern Priory.

Cellist Raphael Wallfisch and pianist Simon Callaghan bring the Festival to a close with an intimate programme of works by British composers Kenneth Leighton and Ian Venables alongside John Ireland’s powerfully intense Cello Sonata and Elgar’s Violin Sonata in the arrangement for cello and piano by Donald Fraser.
