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.
There are a number of opportunities to hear players from the English Symphony Orchestra, as orchestra-in-residence at the Elgar Festival, including in this programme of romances and serenades for wind quintet and chamber orchestra by Elgar, Mozart and Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, who was championed by Elgar himself.
