See you at the Elgar Room, Sir Edward (Elgarlic) 🎶

🎩🧄 Ahem.

Preparations are now underway for Tuesday’s Art of Piano Education Awards at the Royal Albert Hall, where The Musical Vegetable Patch has been named a finalist.

I understand the ceremony is taking place in the Elgar Room.

I consider this entirely appropriate.

The moustache has been groomed.
The bulb has been polished.
Composure remains intact.

Yours, with measured dignity,
Sir Edward Elgarlic

Just a few weeks left until the next Art of Piano Education Awards during the Star Prize Festival at the Royal Albert Hall.

It will be wonderful to see this year’s finalist and to celebrate their achievements.
