Looking West: Concert Various

Vaughan Williams’ music has long been a source of inspiration for composer Julian Philips
and writer Rebecca Hurst. This concert-theatre work sets out to use ideas of pilgrimage to
unlock key themes that thread through RVW’s life and work: a search for the numinous, for
transcendence in landscape and place, for spiritual enrichment in the natural world, and the
transformative power of music and art in both an individual and communal sense. Looking
West seeks a continuity with the central concerns of Vaughan Williams’ legacy in an age of
climate crisis and political instability.

English

Mae cerddoriaeth Vaughan Williams wedi bod yn ysbrydoliaeth ers tro i’r cyfansoddwr Julian
Philips a’r awdur Rebecca Hurst. Mae’r gwaith theatr-cyngherddau hwn yn ceisio defnyddio
syniadau am bererindod i ddatgloi themâu allweddol sy’n ymledu trwy fywyd a gwaith RVW:
chwilio am y numinous, am drosgynoldeb mewn tirwedd a lle, am gyfoethogi ysbrydol yn
y byd naturiol, a phŵer trawsnewidiol y byd naturiol. cerddoriaeth a chelfyddyd yn yr ystyr
unigol a chymunedol. Mae Looking West yn ceisio parhad â phryderon canolog etifeddiaeth
Vaughan Williams mewn oes o argyfwng hinsawdd ac ansefydlogrwydd gwleidyddol.
