On 6 June, Oakham residents were treated to an extraordinary evening in All Saints' Church from the inimitable David Owen-Norris.

David has constructed a piano concerto from the music and manuscripts of Edward Elgar.

He first spoke in a way that everyone was able to understand about how he had gone about constructing it using Elgar's stylistic trademarks.

He then gave a complete performance of the Elgar Piano Concerto accompanied by Anne Bolt, Head of Keyboard at Oakham School.

Peter Lawson, who is currently the Undersheriff of Rutland, said: 'It was a quite brilliant performance of a work none of us had ever heard. Everyone was blown away by the experience.'

The event was organised and sponsored by Arts for The Heart of England.
