Event Description

Our featured composer this year is 97-year-old icon of British music, Thea Musgrave, whose music abounds in colour, emotion, drama and impact. We hear Elgar’s last major orchestral work, the beloved Cello Concerto, alongside his first, The Black Knight. As always we welcome some of the best musicians in the world to Worcester for the week, including Robert Hollingworth and I Fagiolini, oboist Nicholas Daniel, pianist and composer Huw Watkins, violist Rosalind Ventris alongside classic FM presenter Zeb Soanes, world renowned Elgar record producer Andrew Keener and many more. I can’t wait to give that first upbeat – please join us!’
