This concert is made up of two celebrations: one to mark the release of our new disc of works for choir and orchestra by Richard Pantcheff; and one to mark the 150th anniversary of Ralph Vaughan Williams’ birth. Accordingly we will dive headfirst into Pantcheff’s wonderful new repertoire – and then cuddle up with some of Vaughan Williams’ best-loved classics, including his transcendent The Lark Ascending and his passionate settings of George Herbert poems in the Five Mystical Songs.
