The last big event of the EOA’s 75th Anniversary year is an afternoon dedicated to the Life and Music of Percy Whitlock (1903-1946) which coincides, almost to the day, with the 80th Anniversary of the composer’s death.

The talk will start at 2.30pm (arrive from 2pm) and there will be a refreshment break.
