The Elgar Society was formed in 1951 by Spencer Noble, Frank Greatwich, Ludia Shaw and others in Malvern, Worcestershire, where interest was naturally greater than elsewhere due to Elgar's association with the area and with the Malvern Festivals. For twenty years, members met from time to time in the town, some travelling great distances to do so. The West Midlands branch was created naturally when national membership had increased sufficiently to justify the creation of the London branch in 1971.

Members of the West Midlands branch live mostly within a 25-mile radius of Malvern and consider themselves fortunate to live in a beautiful area of England which has so many Elgar associations, including the Birthplace Museum at Broadheath, just outside the city of Worcester. We meet six or seven times a year and enjoy a varied programme of events. The branch also issues a regular newsletter. Visitors are most welcome.

Programme for 2008

Meeting time and venue : Meetings are normally held on Saturdays at the Elgar Birthplace Museum, Lower Broadheath, Worcester.
