BBC SSO Thursday Night Series The Lark Ascending & Vaughan Williams Symphonies
City Halls : Grand Hall
Please Note: This is a past event event.
Don't worry we have plenty more current events to choose from.
Continuing his exploration of Vaughan Williams’ symphonies, Andrew Manze brings the BBC SSO’s Thursday Night Series to an inspiring close with this extraordinary programme that places arguably the two greatest symphonies together.
A starker contrast could hardly be imagined between the warmly sunlit, mystical lyricism of the Fifth and its predecessor, the angular, turbulent, disturbing Fourth. Between them, all is pastoral balm, with the lark’s exquisite song rising higher and higher over a peaceful English landscape. Outstanding young violinist Jennifer Pike is the voice of the songbird, and she begins the concert alone, with some of the greatest violin music by Vaughan Williams’s musical love, JS Bach.
Prelude: 6.45pm in the Recital Room
