Elgar

"There is music in the air, music all around us, the world is full of it and you simply take as much as you require" Edward Elgar

Elgar 2007 was a major celebration to mark the 150th anniversary of the birth of the great British composer Sir Edward Elgar, 1857-1934. Under artistic adviser Michael Kennedy and conducted by Sir Andrew Davis, Elgar 2007 featured 18 concerts in 13 venues across the UK.

The Philharmonia's exploration of Elgar's finest works included the Violin and Cello concertos, Symphonies Nos. 1&2, Enigma Variations, Serenade for Strings, Sea Pictures and The Dream of Gerontius, for which Sir Andrew and the Philharmonia were joined by a stellar team of soloists: Truls Mørk, James Ehnes, Jane Irwin, Catherine Wyn-Rogers, James Gilchrist and Peter Sidhom.

The Series also included recitals by the Soloists of the Philharmonia Orchestra, Elgar Study Days, and a touring exhibition.

This area of the site is dedicated to all things Elgar including interviews with artists, film footage, programme notes and much more.
