Approved

The Three Choirs Festival Voices open their debut concert with Vaughan Williams’ Five Mystical Songs, a setting of George Herbert’s poems which showcases both the baritone soloist and the full might of the choir. Premiered at the Three Choirs Festival in 1910, Gloucester Cathedral is once again filled with the glorious sounds of Fantasia on a Theme by Thomas Tallis. The first Industrial Revolution is then brought to life in Graham Fitkin’s The Age of Aspiration, a musical exploration of the Cornish chemist Humphrey Davy’s work, and the philosophy and culture of the time. Featuring acclaimed actor Samuel West* and countertenor James Hall, who bring Davy’s story to life.
