Elgar's 150th!
Yes, it's that time of year again...
Celebrations for Edward Elgar's 150th anniversary are ramping up! Elgar was born 2 June 1857 in Broadheath, near Worcester (England). His birthplace is now a museum.
Radio station WFMT (Chicago) is broadcasting Elgar's music all day on Friday. BBC3 has loads of programming scheduled, with some additional programming on BBC Four. There's a special webpage for the 150th anniversary, where you can find a list of programs, timeline, list of recordings, and links to other sites of interest (including the Elgar Society webpage)
Enjoy!
