Saturday 12 October 2024, 7.30 pm
Conductor: David Bednall; Organ: Nigel Nash
A concert celebrating the music of Ralph Vaughan Williams on his birthday. He is one of the most loved and influential British Composers. This beautiful programme will feature the Mass in G Minor which evokes something of the glories of Renaissance polyphony. The concert will also include music by his teachers, Parry and Stanford. Both are important figures in their own right, and we are marking Stanford’s Centenary this year. Parry’s majestic festival anthem Hear my words ye people will feature, with Stanford represented by his beautiful Latin Motets. Vaughan Williams’ own teaching legacy is also acknowledged with Howells' Take him, earth, for cherishing, a motet written following the assassination of President Kennedy and one which still moves and astonishes to this day.
Tickets: £21 (reserved), £15 (unreserved - £12 if bought in advance). Students and under 18s, £1
