Programme

Concert Information

When peace came to Europe after World War II, Vaughan Williams was already the grand old man of British music. No-one expected the sheer, explosive force of his astonishing Sixth and, 70 years on, this firestorm of a symphony still leaves listeners reeling: John Storg氓rds unleashes its power tonight. Vaughan Williams wrote The Lark Ascending on the eve of a different war, but there鈥檚 a good reason why it regularly tops polls for Britain鈥檚 best-loved piece of classical music. If you鈥檙e one of the millions who鈥檝e voted for it, we think you鈥檒l also fall in love both with Grieg鈥檚 gentle Lyric Suite, and the gorgeous Violin Concerto by his Bradford-born friend Frederick Delius, performed tonight by the exceptional Guy Braunstein.

Preview, 6.30pm:

A performance of Delius鈥檚 String Quartet in the main auditorium.
