Event Description

Experience the rare beauty of Elgar’s Violin Sonata in E Minor, performed by violinist Alex Postlethwaite and pianist John Moore.

Elgar’s Violin Sonata in E Minor is a deeply personal composition, written during his last major creative period. It was described by Elgar himself as ‘full of golden sounds’. To hear this work performed by Alex Postlethwaite and John Moore in the setting of Elgar’s birthplace – an emotional touchstone for Elgar throughout his life – will be an enthralling and unforgettable experience.

The concert will begin with a performance of Franck’s Violin Sonata in A Major: a tender, tempestuous, teasing conversation between violin and piano, this work is presented by Alex and John with their trademark flair.

This will be a memorable performance. Book early because tickets are expected to sell out quickly.
