It runs gigantically and in a large mood
Towards the end of the First World War, Elgar was in poor health and his wife thought it best for him to move to the countryside, and she rented a house in Sussex. There he would write three remarkable late masterpieces of chamber music. Robert Hugill explores this period of Elgar’s life and introduces the music from tonight’s concert.

About the Sunday Concerts
Founded in the 1880s, our chamber music concert series is the longest-running of its kind in Europe. Conway Hall was purpose-built in 1929 to host concerts and lectures, and they have continued here until the present day. The ethos of “affordable classical music for all” still remains.
