Lest we forget.

📅 #OnThisDay in 1901 Edward #Elgar conducted the first performance of his Pomp and Circumstance March No.1, in #Liverpool. Born near #Worcester, he would later urge the City of #Birmingham to found its own City Orchestra.

🎶 Comment below with the words "Figaro! Figaro! Figaro!" for your chance to HAVE A GO AT CONDUCTING THE ORCHESTRA this Friday! 🙌 More info 👉 cbso.co.uk/event/pop-up-i…

📅 #OnThisDay in 1891 #Dvorak conducted the world premiere of his Requiem in #Birmingham Town Hall. He was impressed by Birmingham, ‘this immense industrial town where they make excellent knives, scissors, springs, files – and besides these, music too!’

🎶 Become ‘maestro of the moment’ at Birmingham’s New Street Station on Fri 15 Oct! Try your hand at conducting a live 80-piece orchestra as we serenade shoppers & travellers as part of an eclectic city-wide events programme supported by @hsbc_uk. #HSBCUK cbso.co.uk/out-and-about

📅 #OnThisDay in 1912 #Sibelius was mobbed by autograph hunters at the #Birmingham Triennial Festival. He was staying with the composer Granville Bantock in Kings Norton; a keen #Shakespeare fan, he’d earlier taken a day off to visit Stratford-upon-Avon.
