The centenary of Edward Elgar's appointment at the University of Birmingham will be marked with a range of events.
Elgar was made the university's first Professor of Music in 1905 and enjoyed a long relationship with the city.
The centenary celebrations, organised by the university's music department and the Barber Institute of Fine Arts, begins with an exhibition called Edward Elgar and Birmingham.
Many artefacts included have not been displayed before, including his wife Alice's diary, which tells of his successes and tribulations.
The free exhibition runs from February 4 to April 3 at the Education Gallery, Barber Institute of Fine Arts.
The programme continues with two events.
The first, on Wednesday, February 16, features a lecture called Elgar's Birmingham by Michael Kennedy, followed by a buffet supper and performance by the Endellion Quartet.
The second, on Wednesday, February 23, includes a lecture by Richard Morrison called A 21st-century Land Without Music? A buffet and performance by the Endellion Quartet also feature. Both events begin at 5.15pm.
