The Elgar Society was formed in 1951 to promote the study, performance and appreciation of the works of Sir Edward Elgar and research into his life and music. It is the largest British composer society, with a worldwide membership.
The Society encourages the study and performance of Elgar's works in schools and colleges, while members' individual and collective and continuing research has added significantly to the total knowledge of Elgar and his work.
Local branches bring members together through meetings, lectures, recitals and visits associated with Elgar and his music. Overseas members are kept in touch with each other and are encouraged, where appropriate, to consider forming national branches or associations.
