Events in London today
Need some inspiration for 19th October? Edward Elgar premiered his Pomp and Circumstance March on this day in 1901, which has gone on to become a firm favourite at Last Night of the Proms. Why not see if there are any Elgar recitals playing today? Or maybe another classical concert instead?
