Elgar Festival

About

Lauded as 'Critic's Pick' in both The Guardian and The Times, the Elgar Festival is an annual live celebration of the life and music of Worcester's most famous son and Britain's great composer, Sir Edward Elgar (1857–1934). Set in and around the composer's home city and inspirational landscape, the event comprises concerts given by the resident English Symphony Orchestra under their Principal Conductor and Festival Artistic Director, Kenneth Woods, with guest artists including Zoë Beyers and Esther Abrami and featured composer, Steve Elcock.

Embodying the ethos 'Elgar for Everyone', the Elgar Festival engages with those of all ages and backgrounds in music and legacy at a number of integral venues of both historic interest and personal significance to the composer, including Worcester Cathedral and Guildhall. Please refer to the website for individual venues around the city and the programme for each day.
