Elgar Festival

From Sat 24 May View Venues, Dates & Times

Making a nine-day return, this much-loved festival is this year celebrating great musicmaking (of course!), the natural environment, young musicians, historic buildings, community, diversity and participation. 

Highlights include Elgar’s Symphony No2 and John Ireland’s These Things Shall Be, both of which will be performed by the critically acclaimed English Symphony Orchestra in Worcester Cathedral. 
Recitals by Raphael Wallfisch, David Briggs and April Fredrick also feature, as do participatory event Come And Play Elgar and family concert Elgar For Everyone. 

There are several free-to-attend events included in the programme, which features relaxed concerts, an exhibition, choral events, a film screening, Q&As, a guided walk, and a new performance partnership with students from the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire.
