A Sea Symphony – Vaughan Williams

UPDATE! Scroll down to see photos from an amazing concert.

*************************************************************

Join us in Leamington on Saturday 21st March for a musical voyage through works inspired by the sea!

Experience the  vastness of the ocean and the spirit of exploration in  Vaughan Williams’ A Sea Symphony – a masterpiece for choir, soloists and orchestra, inspired by the poetry of Walt Whitman.

The theme of the sea is continued in Stanford’s Songs of the Fleet, a stirring early 20th century patriotic song cycle for choir and baritone, reflecting Britain’s strong naval tradition. 

As an extra treat, our soprano soloist will sing The Seal Man by Rebecca Clarke, with piano accompaniment.
