- Classics Uncorked: Secrets Revealed | Thursday, June 13, 2019 at 7 p.m.
When the backstory is as intriguing as the music, we have to pull back the curtain! Elgar’s Enigma Variations captures the essence of his friends and even himself in 14 variations on an enigmatic theme. Plus, many speculate his work contains an overarching hidden theme.
