About the event
Join Ted Maidment for a fascinating exploration of composer Edward Elgar—his triumphs, contradictions, and the mystery behind the music. With a personal connection through his maquette of the composer, Ted delves into Elgar’s celebrated works The Enigma Variations and The Dream of Gerontius, while uncovering the two sides of the man himself: the outwardly confident gentleman and the sensitive, complex soul beneath. A thoughtful look at the genius who was as much an enigma as the music he wrote.
