A talk on Elgar by Richard Westwood-Brookes
Find out more about Edward Elgar with one of The Firs Elgar expert talks.
- Booking not needed
- Free event (admission applies)
Find out more about Edward Elgar, the man behind the music in one of our Elgar expert talks.
Monday 26 October 12 - 12:30 pm : Who was Elgar? This might seem a simple question to answer - but it is far from simple. This 30 minute talk with examples from some of his music explains who he really was - and it's far from the person you thought you knew.
2 - 2:30 pm: Why did Elgar give up serious composition? After the death of his wife Alice in 1920, Elgar largely gave up serious composition. But was grief the only reason for his 14 year creative silence?
These are free talks (normal admission to The Firs applies).
