Approved

In celebration of the 150th anniversary of the great British composer Ralph Vaughan Williams, we join forces with the Oxford Bach Choir.

Opening with the much-loved Fantasia on a Theme of Tallis, followed by the oratorio Sancta Civitas, makes for a memorable evening, not least because it will be performed in the very building where it was first heard almost a century ago.

The cantata Dona Nobis Pacem closes the programme. A deeply moving piece, it is filled with foreboding for another war, but also hopes of a happier future.
