A Sea Symphony: A Sea Symphony Vaughan Williams (+2 More)

Ralph Vaughan Williams was born 150 years ago in 1872. His epic work A Sea Symphony from 1910 is the focus of this concert. It features the poetry of Walt Whitman and was the piece which truly established Ralph Vaughan Williams as a composer. 

The concert will start with Gloria by Francis Poulenc. This brilliant and quirky setting was partly inspired by the composer watching monks playing football.

And rounding off the full programme, supporting the choir’s commitment to the inclusion of women composers in its concerts, will be Crossing the Bar by American composer Rani Arbo.
