Event Description
Join us at The Firs for this special event with pianist, composer and broadcaster David Owen Norris. The audience will listen to a complete performance of the piano concerto in a version for solo piano, which features slides of Elgar’s manuscript sketches.
David Owen Norris has recorded all of Sir Edward Elgar’s piano compositions. He worked with the late Anthony Payne on his completions of Elgar’s Third Symphony and Sixth Pomp & Circumstance March, and now, after taking Elgar’s recorded piano improvisations of 1929 around the world for an astounding thirty-five years, playing them by ear, he has at last combined manuscript sketches and the inspirations of the composer’s own fingers to complete the Piano Concerto Elgar worked on for the last 15 years of his life.
Don’t miss this special opportunity to attend an intimate concert at the spiritual home of one of the nation’s most treasured and revered composers.
