The Berkeley Ensemble has long championed the music of Dorothy Howell and in this concert presents Howell in her milieu, with her music alongside works by her teacher at the Royal Academy of Music, John Blackwood McEwen, her friend Herbert Howells and that of Edward Elgar, a towering figure of her earlier life, and whose grave she tended in the Malvern Hills.
