The Inspiring Elgar: The Composers Who Shaped a Genius — A Live Music Event will feature a thoughtfully curated recital by renowned cellist Corinne Frost and distinguished pianist Clare Toomer at The Firs in Worcester.
This thoughtfully curated recital by renowned cellist Corinne Frost and distinguished pianist Clare Toomer explores the rich musical landscape that helped shape Elgar’s own distinctive voice.
