It's not possible to live close to the Malvern Hills as a music-lover, and not hear Elgar's music resounding across the fields - and the English Symphony Orchestra is presenting an Elgar Pilgrimage this October, a mini-festival including some of his greatest works.
On 7 October in Hereford Cathedral they'll play the Introduction and Allegro and a new version of Sea Pictures for choir and strings.
On 8 October at Malvern Theatres there's a chance to hear how Brahms influenced Elgar, with his Third Symphony set against Elgar's Violin Concerto.
Chamber music by Brahms and Elgar for piano and strings is played by some of the finest young performers on 9 October at the Elgar Hall, Birmingham University: Alexander Sitkovetsky and Tamsin Waley-Cohen, violins, Louise Lansdown, viola, Matthew Sharp, cello and Clare Hammond, piano
And on 10 October, again in the stunning new Elgar Concert Hall at Birmingham University, there's the world premiere of a symphonic realization of Elgar's Piano Quintet in A minor, opus 84 together with Mahler's Lieder eines fahrenden Gesellen (Songs of a Wayfarer) with soloist Njabulo Madlala
