 Composer of the Week Edward Elgar- born in England (1857-1934) Edward Elgar's father was a musician who tuned pianos, owned a music shop and was employed as a church organist. The young Edward learned to play the organ and violin at a young age, and composed his first short piece at the age of 10. His first job was as assistant organist to his father. His main love was composition. We are going to watch an amazing performance of Elgar's cello concerto 1st Movement.
