Elgar took up the trombone in 1900, possibly with more enthusiasm than expertise. Sue Addison, trombonist with the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment, and Professor at the RCM, traces his trombone's journey from Elgar's possession to the RCM. Using Elgar's own instrument, she will outline the history of the trombone and talk about Elgar's music from a brass player's point of view.
This illustrated talk is presented by the London Branch of The Elgar Society.
