Visitors can follow the Elgar Route and find for themselves places that were a part of his life and work
ELGAR IN ONE MINUTE: One of Britain’s best-loved composers. Elgar’s First Symphony was given over a 100 performances in the first year of its life. His Cello Concerto is the most popular of all concertos for this instrument. Not always at ease as a public figure, Elgar was also a keen amateur chemist, and a Shakespeare scholar. "Land of Hope and Glory" has become an unofficial second national anthem. Elgar was knighted in 1904, and appointed Master of the King's Music in 1924.
